Hi Watermom and PoolDoc,

Thank you for your help. I watched the Taylor demos and filled out the pool form.

Watermom, I did a you suggested and got a cya reading of 80 which I multiplied by 2 to get the 160 I reported to you. I'm not sure it's that high though. I had the pool company here this afternoon to show me how to work the pump, chlorination, etc. They tested too and got a cya reading under 100 but they don't always do that test so I'm not convinced that their number is correct. They also added some muratic acid and showed me how to siphon off water if I choose to do that. They had a FC reading of 5+ and TA of 150 approx. as they hadn't written them down. I will test again tomorrow and report all those numbers. The pool looks blue and clear but smells like chlorine a bit. No one is trying to swim so we can see how long the FC holds. Thank you again so much.
