Ok, the tabs they put in the chlorinator are Durachlor tabs. I picked a HTH 6 way drop kit from Walmart and here are the first test results:
Chlorine was 5+, over their scale.
Ph was 7.3-7.4
Hardness test did not turn red after adding hardness indicator, it turned yellow so I didn't continue.
Alkalinity was 380 ppm.
With the Cyanuric acid test the black dot did not disappear.
The hardness test is somewhat confusing, I filled the pool with well water, so I went and tried it on the faucet that I filled the pool from and the water turned red after five drops. The only chems the pool company added were the tabs and half a can of dichlor shock. Is the HTH test kit nit real accurate, or is my pool this far out of whack?
