Ben,

I purchased a Taylor Service Complete Pool Water Test Kit K-2006C. I wish you had mentioned your commission...
I should have it by Friday - or latest on Monday...

Test results this evening:

hard = 500
Tot chl = 1
Free chl = 0.5 to 1
pH is above 8.4
tot alk is above 240
cyn is between 100 and 150

I will add chlorine in a few mins. What do you recommend to lower alk and pH?

Thanks,
Len
