Thanks Janet. I have added the Polyquat 60 algaecide. I've added Metal sequestrant -probably too much. The pool store kept telling me to add it. I have put 5 -32oz bottles in the pool.

Both of my current substandard tests that I have right now do not even measure Chlorine yet. I just did a little test with the shocks that I have bought. Honestly when l add the Cal-hypo it turns brown when it hits the water. When I add the Sodium Dichloro-s-triazinetrione it does not. I have one trichlor 3" tablets in my floater in the pool for at least a couple of weeks. I would think that alone would measure some chlorine. I need to work on getting Chlorine level up, but am scared too because of past experience. What would you suggest to get the chlorine up? Should I use the Sodium Dichloro-s-triazinetrione shock I have or should I just use some household bleach? Should I add another chlorine floater?

My pool is clear now. So just need to keep it that way. My readings on my trutest reader (which I know is unrealiabe) were Chlorine 0, PH - 7.2, Alk - 115.
I am going to order the Taylor K-2006.

I really appreciate this forum. So glad I found it. I have learned more from this forum than I have with working with pool stores for 4 weeks!!
