I don't know what happened to my reply to aylad because I had all the details about my pool and what I have used. Just a brief answer to the Questions that were asked:
(What type/size of pump and filter do you have on this pool?) It is a Sta-rite (larger one) with a 1/5 H.P. pump.
(What are you using to test your water with) I was using Aqua Check strips and teh Aqua Chek reader and strips.
(and what are your levels for pH, alk, and CYA?) With the strips the Ph was 7.4, Alk - 80-100 and Cya was low to normal - all of these vary with the test strips and meter
(Can you take a water sample to the pool store and ask them to test it for metals?) I did. Pool store was no help as they just used the strips and did not even follow the instructions. I took a sample to a water softener store. They said they did not find metals but PH was 7.3 and Alkaline was 180

So I felt the Alkaline was the problem and continued to work on decreasing it. Now my pool is clear! Yeah!

Since I found this pool forum, I started to read that that the strips and Aqau chek reader were not reliable. The Aqau chek reader has been terrible and is going back! I have been reading about your TF100 and K-2006 comparison. I am going to order one of these. Which one do you recommend?

Also I see you have recommend household bleach for chlorinating? The shock I used was Calcium hypochlorite, which turned the water brown immediately. I also have Sodium Dichloro-s-triazinetrione, which I think is better? I have trichlor tablets in my floater. What are your recommendations about chlorinating?

I like this forum and I think I will learn a lot and I really need the help. I can't get much help from pool stores around here.
