Alright Just got back from Walmart with 12 jugs of the 6% Great Value Bleach at $2.98 ea. and the 6 way HTH kit. Is this a good price?

It seems a little cheaper than the 5 gallons from the pool store but not sure if there's was 6 or 12%. I'm holding off doing anything until someone on here tells me to because I'm sick of spending money.

Anyways did some tests:

TC: The kit goes to 5 but it was darker than that by a little meaning 6
pH: The kit goes to 8.2 but the color seemed darker by a little meaning 8.3-8.5
CYA: wife said about 46

Turned the purifier off on the salt system and now I'm just filtering. Should I brush, vacuum, to filter or to waste? I'm below half of the skimmer now so if I vacuum to waste I will probably need to add water to keep pump running.

Waiting for some help. Thanks for the help so far.
