Hi Janet --
Thanks for the information - I'm definitely going to get the Taylor kit today!
Now that we've scrapped the test strips, nothing I currently have will allow me to measure the chlorine above 5 ppm. I believe I've read that the Taylor kit will allow that, but I'm not sure how to attack the shock process in the meantime. Unless you have some ideas, I'll just make sure it doesn't go below the 5 ppm with the HTH kit until the Taylor kit arrives.
The hardness is not good - 560 - but about all I can do about it right now is drain and refill a couple of inches of water at a time (which I know is almost worthless). I don't have the means to drain and refill the entire pool quickly, and everything I've read suggests that the plaster will bake and be destroyed if I try. So I think I'm stuck with that until it cools off, which here is about November!. =)
