Low pH, Hardness, Alk, where do I start?

You don't need to do anything about the alk. It is just fine. Are you adding bleach?

I have not added any bleach in the last couple days because I wanted to get a feel for how much was needed. The Taylor K-1515-A test kit has been sold out on Amazon. Is there another place online to order them? What price range is to be expected?

Google for it. I just did and found a couple of places that have it. Just make sure it is the Taylor K1515 FAS-DPD kit. A couple of links that showed up when I did my search were for other kits. The K1515A will have 0.75 oz bottles and the K1515C will have 2-oz. bottles.

I actually did find the K1515C on Amazon for $46. At the time I am writing this post, they show 4 available.

I also found a Taylor K1515A for $21.63 from this place. (I don't know anything about this company.)

Going fast! Now down to 2, and Amato probably won't re-stock till Monday.

Can you remove / disconnect the copper ionizer unit on the SWCG so you won't add more copper to the pool?

I saw this mentioned somewhere else, but no instructions were given.

So I just tested again, and the pool still has chlorine in it. Does that seem odd? I went ahead and added more bleach. No one is swimming this weekend because the weather is too cool and the water temp has dropped.
