Are you sure about that CYA level? How'd it get to 200?
The rest is okay. The low pH will come up fast enough that I wouldn't bother adding anything.

I took a water sample to the local pool store. All those numbers are theirs. I also just updated all my equipment. Forgot to do so.
Just an update. I added 6 bags of salt. I will test the ppm later this afternoon and see where it's at then add from there.
Pool $tore testing? Guess we know what that's worth... Of all the tests they get wrong, CYA is probably the worst. You are going to need to get a good test kit of your own before you can know for sure what is going on in your pool. There are 2 kits we recommend. Either the TF-100 (I use that one) or the K-2006C (I used to use that one)
Cc-10
fc-10
ph-7.2
ach-70
ch-80
cya-120(about a cm below 100)
salt-3100
temp-76

i have a kit very comparable to the k-2006c
Are these your test results, or a pool store's?
And is the CC really 10 or is there a typo somewhere? FC is good. CC is bad. TC = CC+ FC. Is that really CC or do you mean TC?
The next question is how did the CYa get from 200 to 120? And also, I should mention that the graduations on the view tube are not equidistant. Any time the CYA reading is higher than 90, the test should be repeated using the dilution method in Step 8 here: Pool School - CYA
The bottom line is until we have accurate results we can't comment or advise.
Sorry it took so long to get back with you. Yes the cc is 10 and fc is 10. That is as far as my test will go. All those numbers are from my test here at home.
