    Finally got the K-2006C and a day off! So I have the following results which seem to be pretty good or am I missing something. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
    89F
    FC=4.2
    pH=7.8
    TA=130
    CH=190
    CYA~52
    CC=0.4

    Those numbers don't look too bad! Make sure you keep your chlorine in range based on your CYA level (Best Guess Chart). A CC of 0.4 is something to keep an eye on. If it goes higher than 0.5, you'll want to shock the pool. Your pH is ok at 7.8 but if it goes to 8.0, you'll want to lower it some.

    By the way, use the 10ml sample instead of the 25ml sample when you test. It will make your reagents last longer. You don't really need readings within 0.2ppm; 0.5 is close enough.

    Overall those numbers are just fine! Keep up the good work!

    Sweet! Thanks a bunch. I'm going to wallyworld to get some bleach in a few minutes to give it a good shock. We had a gathering yesterday so I plan to hit it with 3 gallons of 8.25% bleach tonight, which should bring it to ~20 on chlorine.
