Your test results are fine. Regarding your testing notes: (a) most pools have at least a slight reaction to R0003; it's not a problem. If your CC was completely 0.0, you'd have no reaction or color; (b) red particles are OK; (c) 50:50 mix = 2x results, which is what you did, so you're fine.
If this: http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/h...s/54979eg.html
is your pool, you have about 8,400 gallons of water, for a PF of 14. 22oz is about 20% of a gallon. So adding 22 oz to your pool:
0.20 gal x 0.7 lbs Cl / gal x 14 (PF) = 2 ppm chlorine -- an acceptable small dose. 60 oz would be about 5 ppm.
Typically, there will be some continuing chlorine demand while you clean up algae and its residues. Since you used algaecide, there may be even more.
Once things settle out, you may see a daily chlorine consumption of 1.2 - 2.0 ppm / day. That's about 1/4 gallon of bleach per day. But, this may take a week or more with no trace of algae.
