    I agree with Dave. Your test results just don't make sense! There is NO WAY your CYA would go from 0 to 80 PPM in one day! You said you added it before in a sock...How much did you add then?
    The pH and TA readings should rise and fall together. TA should NOT go down as pH goes up unless there is interferance from high clorine levels and you are getting bogus test results.

    You need to slow down, take a breath, tell us exactly what you are using for testing and then let's take it from there.
    IF you are testing with strips you need to stop and get a drop based kit or have the pool store test your water. You might also want to check your water for metals (iron and copper) at the pool store. just a hunch. Also tell us if you have added anything else to your pool such as algecides, and if you did what the ingredients are (or the product's name).
