    I received my Taylor today. Is cussing allowed? LOL! I am not a chemist. I am a literature major! LOL I did the chlorine test and it just stayed clear. Previewing the book again. Ugh!

    Ignore the book. These demos might be helpful.

    It means you have 0.0 chlorine. That's a VALID test result, but a bad condition for your pool to be in. Go pour a gallon of bleach in!

    The Taylor videos, demonstrating each test in the kit, can be reached using this link; http://pool9.net/tk-guide/

    3 parts combined chlorine
    PH 7.8
    akalinity 90

    is this a good place to be in the early morning at the beginning of a very sunny day?

    Not the 3ppm of CC! Ideally, you want that to be 0. Try the chlorine tests again. These testing video demos might be helpful.

    Your pH and alk are fine.

    When you re-do the tests and re-post, please list FC and CC readings.
