Testing with TF100

[kpbr2f]

Just purchased the TF100 testing kit and I am testing my pool for the first time. Based on some very bad information from the pool store my stuff is all out of order. Here is the result of my first testing:
FC - 30
PH- 7.5
CYA - 50
TA - 100 ( not sure if this is correct as the solution is supposed to turn back to red unless you have a very high FC count, which I do, so the reading is based on when the solution turned yellowish/orange)
Salt - 3720

Is this safe to get in?
Can anyone provide help on what is needed to balance?

Thanks

Let FC come down to 20 which is SLAM level.
pH is invalid at that level FC.

Do you need to follow SLAM Process?

Your chems are not as bad as you think. What does your water look like?

Its crystal clear.

OK. Let your FC drift down and then keep it around 4-6 ppm for the Summer. Go swimming as soon as it drifts down below 20

Drops based tests are not so much a particular color but rather a complete color change. Add drops for the TA test until the LAST drop you add makes no further color change. Then subtract that last drop and that is your TA.....regardless of what colors are involved.

Report another full set of tests as soon as your FC is down around 6 or so. This time include CH and CC's so we can see a complete picture.

So my FC is finally down to 6 today.
FC - 6
CC - 0
PH - 7.5
TA - 90
CH - 200
CYA - 40
Salt - 3300

Any recommendations?

You might want to the raise the CYA a bit which could allow you to turn down the SWG some.
Beyond that, swim
