The results I gave you are from the pool store. However, I do use the OTO test kit for pH and chlorine and it is pretty clear after I add the drops that I have no chlorine in the pool. The pH from the test kit is matching the pool store value. When the pool was opened, I was getting what I should get using the test kit.

Now for the Copper...I have a well and to fill the pool up after closing I use well water that has been properly Ph'd but it is not softened in any way. I have the classic toilet stains from my well water. I would think this is mostly iron though. I have had the pool for about 8 years or so and have always used well water. And I don't have any stains in the plaster either and I have dumped a lot of chlorine in my pool before especially before going on vacation...something like 8 to 10 pounds.

I assume the copper is a true reading...I had them check for phosphates as well and there were none.

I also don't see any algae at all. My pool looks crystal clear.
