You only need a drop or two. Your result just means you had NO CC . . . which is a good thing.

Ok. With a 26K pool, your PF is 4.5

Do this.

1. Turn your SWCG off -- you're just wearing it out, at the moment.
2. Get 2 gallons of muriatic acid, and lower your pH. Read the muriatic acid page first. Add 1/2 gallon at a time; wait 4 hours; test; repeat till you reach 7.6 or below.
3. CAREFULLY re-read the instructions on your K1766; make SURE you are doing it correctly, and then re-test. If you really have a salinity of 330ppm, your SWCG should be in alarm. (Meanwhile, do #1 above!)
4. Dose your pool with 4 gallons of bleach each evening, till you get dichlor OR get stabilizer above 50 ppm and salt above 3,000 ppm.
5a. Get 50# PoolBrand dichlor at Sams Club, OR at Amazon
5b. Buy some stabilizer locally or at Amazon.
5c. Buy dichlor at Amazon (do NOT get it locally, except from Sams -- most are now hodge-podge mystery blends!)
===> To add 40ppm CYA, you need about 9lbs of stabilizer or about 20 lbs of dichlor. Using dichlor will BOTH chlorinate AND add stabilizer AND lower your pH, so it's a very efficient choice for you, at the moment =======

Get back to me, on your results and actions.
