How am I doing so far w/out Bens kit?

[Bowlin]

14 ppm fc
1 ppm cc
7.4 ph
60 alk
guessing the cya around a 30 done with a test strip


27000 gallon IG pool
sand filter

These readings are now a few days old. Can you update them? Hopefully with a FC of 14, that took care of your CC reading and it is now 0 which is where we want it to be. PH is fine. Alk is a little low. Add a little baking soda slowly to the skimmer to bump it up between 80-125. Also, get a test kit that uses drops rather than test strips. Hope this helps.

I will update when I get home on everything but for the most part my pool is coming along nice, I can see the bottom of the pool and yes my cc has came down to 0, but I do have some debris on the bottom of pool that needs to come out and then its navigator city for me, these were my test results last night

fc 6
cc 0
cya 30 I think using the Taylor kit, water about filled the tube before the dot went away
ph 7.4
alk 40
I know that needs to go way up.

These numbers look fine, except the alk is low as you mentioned. Add some baking soda and try and get alk to 80-125.
