please help with water balance

Add enough plain, unscented bleach to raise your chlorine level to 12-15 ppm. If you'll search through the forum for a post made by mwsmith2, there's a bleach calculator attached in his sig that will help you figure out how much to add, based on your pool gallonage. You will need to continue to add the bleach, testing 2-3 times daily, and each time adding enough to come back up to the 12-15 ppm range. In the meantime, go to the Baquacil forum and read through the posts there. There are several people on this forum who have gone through successful conversions and are VERY happy with the results.

Welcome to the forum!

Edit: I just re-read your post and realize that you are not still in the conversion process. HOwever, with your CYA that low, you still need to shock your pool up to the 10-12 ppm range to burn off the combined chlorine that you have. Sorry about the misunderstanding!
