We brushed and vacuumed the pool and added 1 gal of bleach and ended up adding another one. We finally got a chlorine reading of 5 ppm a ph of 8.2 and an alkalinity of 80. I still need to get the stabilizer level up because it's only reading around 0. Not sure if I should keep adding in the brominating tablets and more bleach every night or not. Am planning on getting a stabilizer soon also.
