What all products have you put in your pool -- meaning ingredients and not just 'shock.' The thing I am curious about is how a newly filled pool could possibly have a CYA reading of 150. I have a feeling that is totally a bogus reading. In case you haven't yet read, we do not trust test strips. You need to get a good kit. The Taylor K-2006 or 2006C from the test kit link in Ben's signature above. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and order one so you will get it asap. That one purchase will make your pool care so much easier.
