PB finished pool 3 weeks ago. Gave a 1 hour crash course while throwing in a ton of acid and essentially said good luck.
Picture is of my water test this morning 3 weeks since PB left.
Attempting the stay on top of it. Water is currently decently clear. Leslies recommended to raise the alkalinity and CYA acid. Any suggestions on what to do moving forward? I have not added much chlorine at all hence the low CL levels.
Pool is an in ground ~25,000 gallons plaster.
TIA

You need a proper test kit. I suggest the TF-100 A proper test kit is needed to get the accurate water chemistry results needed to follow the TFP protocols. We do not provide guidance based on pool store testing.

While you are waiting on your test kit, add 5 ppm FC worth of liquid chlorine / plain bleach to your pool each evening with the pump running. This will replenish the FC lost each day to the sun and also inhibit any algae in the water from growing further.

I have a rainbow100 - will that suffice?
