Janet,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. From my drop based test the results are as follows-
Chlorine-3 Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5% from the pool store. I can use no name bleach from Walmart in the future even if it is 6% sodium hypochlorite.
Bromine-6 I dont put this in the pool unless it is considered part of the chlorine from the pool store.
PH-7.2 Sodium Carbonate Which I use A&H washing soda.
Alkalinity-80 Sodium Bicarbonate which I use A&H Baking Soda.
Hardness-130 Calcium Chloride which I use the white ice melting pellets as its the same chemical and has other uses as well as keeping dust down on a dirt road in the summer.
Cyanuric Acid-0 I have tried to use the product from the pool store in the past with actually no results as last year my reading also held at 0 alll summer long.
There are always a few leaves that get into the deep end of the pool every year even though I try to close the pool early enough to avoid them. Also I have acorns there as the squirrels and chipmunks are always getting them into the pool all the time. These are in the deep end mostly.
I dont know of any metals in the water. The water here that I am supplied by the local municipality is spring water as there are alot of natural aquifers locally.
