New kit owner and I tested my brother's pool

Get the pH up sooner rather than later...Borax...start with one box and retest.

Recheck your testing method for Alk....something's probably not correct. If Alk is truly 10, you'll need some baking soda (lots) but get your pH up first.

Shock and then maintain Cl per azimmer's recommended levels.

I'll get pH up and have him shock with bleach..
