ok, so i went and got a pressure guage for the filter and it is running at 10psi pretty consistantly

i took a water sample to be tested and the results were as follows

chlorine 3

ph 6.8

alkalinity 100

stabalizer 20

she said that because my water is pretty cold(55) that the reading may be a little off

she said i would be ok adding another jug of chlorine


this girl told me not to add anything other chemicals other than the chlorine until it is clear.


i looked at their testing kits and they are either really cheap (10-20$) or really expensive(100-200$) so i didnt pick one up. i will go to a few different shops tomorrow and see what they have .
