Thank you for the help. I thought my numbers looked good too. The water is cloudy this morning. I scrubbed the pool down again and vacuumed. Here are today's numbers:

FC: 7.2
TC: 8
Combined Cl: 0.8
pH: 7.4
Alkalinity: 80
CYA: 20


I dumped in another 2.5 gallons of the 12.5% chlorine and will retest tonight. I had surgery on Wednesday so have been having the pool store test water until I feel well enough. My alkalinity went from 70 to 80 in 24 hours and my CYA went from 30 to 20. Obviously very accurate. Will start doing my own testing tonight! How long do I keep the chlorine levels high? Is there a way to tell? Thanks for all the help and input.
