Not sure what my results mean - do I need to shock?

Your cya is very high... The test is inaccurate over 100ppm so yours could actually be higher. I would suggest retesting cya with half pool water and half tap water then double your result. Use the "best guess" chart here. Also, use the 10ml sample method when testing for fc and cc to save on reagents. If you have over .5 ppm cc, then you should shock.

Thank you I will do that tomorrow as it is now dark. Am new to using the test kit so am a little wary as to whether I did the CYA test correctly. Thanks again for your response :-)
