New user trying to get things right finally

New user here that has listened to pool store for to long. After them selling me another 5 lbs of bioguard super soluable I did some research and realized I just bought a load of crap I mean cya (thanks to this site know what that is). Called the store and they said not to worry about cya and that super soluable has no cya in it. No more store!!!! Now emptying water from pool since cya was above 200. Can't even get a decent measurement to high so guessing. Using hth 6 way tester till I can get the Taylor one in the next couple of days. Pool is above ground about 11000 gallons. So draining it slowly and will get numbers to you all when I am refilled in a couple of days.

Thank you all
