slamming for the first time

Hi

I have a semi inground oval pool 12x21. We installed a heater about 6 weeks ago, but it has been cloudy for the the last 2-3 weeks, I added bleach 12.5%, 2 gallons 2 days ago. Yesterday I added another gallon of the same bleach. I took a water sample yesterday and today to the pool store so they can test with the computer machine ( no idea if this computer machine is useful) But here are the readings. (My TF-100 Test Kit ™ should be here tomorrow)
08/05. 08/04
FC 14.06. 15.17
TC 16.78. 17.6
CC 2.72 !! 2.44
pH. 7.8 7.8

CH. 51 175

What is your pH? Post up that result.

These numbers are good. Your FC is very high, but the only way to lower it reasonably, is to let it sit in the sun. If you have a cover, take the cover off.

After it comes down, maintain it using this chart -->FC/CYA Levels
