Just an update...
I went back to my Pool store to have my water tested again and realized that they were using TEST STRIPS! I couldn't believe it. They use this device to read the strips which records the results. Here are their results:
pH - 6.8
Total Alk - 180
Cyanuric Acid - 100
Total Chlorine - 3
Free Chlorine - 0
I told them I didn't believe the numbers and I was surprised that they were using STRIPS. They said they agreed and then pulled out another DPD-FAS test kit to do the FC test. This time is showed my FC was 1.0.
I then purchased a DPD-FAS test kit by AquaTrend. When I got home I tested with these results:
pH - 7.8
Total Alk - 110
Cyanuric Acid - 30
Total Chlorine - 2
Free Chlorine 1
So as you can there was a HUGE difference in the results. Never depend on a test other than a DPD-FAS test!!!!
