And, if you have a vinyl pool, TA is not an issue until it approaches 200ppm. Until then, your key to determining whether your TA is good is how stable your pH is. The more stable pH is, the more confident you can be that your TA is good.

just did another test
temp-87
cya-60-70
ph-7.5
ta-150
cc-0.0
fc-15.0
ch-240
si-0.1-0.0 i used water wheel that comes with kit does #s look ok?
If your water is clear and you are not fighting an algae bloom, then your FC is high but will come down. You'll maintain it between 5 and 10ppm. You should see your pH read lower when FC is below 10. High FC tends to make pH look higher than it is.
You should not use Tri-Chlor tabs or Dichlor powder to chlorinate your pool. You CAN use Cal-Hypo for a while, but not once your CH level hits 400. However, your best choice is bleach/Liquid Chlorine(LC).
I'd say go swimming but wear old suits until FC gets in the 5-10 range.
You could add an ounce or two of PolyQuat. It will help prevent algae and, in that amount, lower your FC a little.

just order some polyquat thanks and using just bleach
