Re: Measuring CC with Taylor K-2006 test kit
If the 63 CYA value is from a pool store, it can't really be trusted; if you did the test then don't bother reading between the lines - the test just isn't that accurate.
We recommend dichlor for pools that have low CYA(stabilizer). If that 63 value is close, your pool has plenty - so stick with bleach. FC of 3 is too low for CYA of 63. Please find, read, and understand the Best Guess Chlorine chart on poolsolutions..com.
I don't know the size of your pool so I can't reaaly say, but if the pool is small, try a cup of Borax. Let it dissolve and mix for a few hours and test pH again. Repeat the process if it's still too low. Try a box at a time if your pool is large.
Get the chlorine into range (you have read the best guess chart) and be sure the pH isn't below 7.2 then swim. You may need to shock the pool to clear the CC (Best guess chart).
