    CYA is cyanuric acid, also called stabilizer or conditioner.
    CL is chlorine

    You can buy the 5-way drops based kit at Walmart for about $13. Post results when you get your new kit and also tell us what type and size your pool is.

    In case you are referring to the HTH 5 way kit, it measures total chlorine, ph, alkalinity and stabilizer. The fifth is hardness, in case you need that.

    See CarlD's post for a link to a more detailed explanation of those types of tests and what to do about the results. The HTH kit at Wal-Mart is an OTO test kit.
