Did you dechlorinate the sample with sodium thiosulfate prior to running the CH test?

Re: pool newbie with cloudy water
No.
I vacuumed to waste the sediment on the pool floor yesterday, installed the unicel, and added polyquat. I'll let you know how it goes.
Oh, I also got a 1,500 gph Intex pump. Just waiting for the hose adapter...

Clear water! My challenge is to keep the poor clear of leaves and choke cherries, which are dropping from trees in volumes. What a mess. Thank you, Pool Doc!
Should I use anything beyond the polyquat and bleach?

Not sure what all your levels are, but polyquat won't help with leaves and chokecherries. It will keep your pool a bit clearer.

What is your stabilizer level?
Re: pool newbie with cloudy water
Ben, I'm not sure what stabilizer level means.
