Wow! I'm impressed--you started right off with the WalMart 5-way kit--truly the best kit you can get for less than $40 that I know of.

Michael and Dave have given you the advice I would give you. But with a CYA of 60, I would keep my FC (Free chlorine) at a minium of 5ppm. With the Walmart kit, just keep it at 5 and you should be fine.

You can double the reading to 10 by mixing equal amounts of pool water and steam-distilled water. I like to use the "Shot Glass Method" --One shot of pool water, one shot of distilled water. Mix and now measure. If the reading is "5ppm", you have 10ppm.

Rinse out the shot glass and fill with your favorite alcohol.
Drink, but don't Dive--or Drive!
