I would use bleach and shock the pool up to about 12. Then, maintain your FC between 3-6ppm. Alk and ph are OK.

According to the bleach calculator that would be about 5 1/2 gallons for a pool that is our size (33' oval 42" deep)

2nd go three days later with questions.

FC - 3.5
CC - .5
TC - 4.0
pH - 7.2
Alk - 60
Cya - 30

Should we add just a wee bit of Cya and bump the pH?

Hi, Dad,

You're havin' fun with your kit, aren't you? :D :D Isn't it great to have your water under such good control?

Personally, I would leave CYA alone and keep an eye on pH and Alk. If the pH slips any more, it's time for a little Borax. Most folks like Alk around 80-120 but you're not in any danger zone...a little baking soda would put you right in the ballpark.
