    That means you have a CYA level of less than 30 ppm. IF solution was completely clear, it means you have a CYA level of less than 10 ppm

    Solution was a little cloudy . Do I need to do something about that? Also on the 6 way test kit for the cl and ph test do you have to let it sit for a while in the test tubes to read or can you read it as soon as you add the drips and mix . Also pool is clear but has a little green shade to it what could that be and how could I get rid of it

    + "a little cloudy" = CYA > 0 but CYA < 30 ppm - you need more. Do you have dichlor? Did you read the SS recipe page?

    + read both pH & chlorine instantly; OTO chlorine test reads free chlorine instantly, total chlorine (free + combined) after 1 minute or so.

    + Green shade? increase your chlorine doses; run your filter as much as possible.
