Thank you both for responding so quickly.

Watermom,
I purchased the Taylor K 2000 test kit from the Amazon link through the forum.
The filter is a Pentair clean and clear 320. It has 4 cartridge filters. There are 2 sets of filters one is pentair and the other is filbur. I have been able to clean them and it is running well.
Our water is city. The pool looks good I just need to get the numbers right.

PoolDoc,
I will lower the Ph slowly and then retest water. The scaling sides sounds like my pool but the pictures don't match. Before I pressure washed it if I brushed the sides the water would get very cloudy brownish color and the gritty substance was always on the steps and ladder steps. I have not seen the grit since refilling.
