BEFORE EVERYTHING: FOLLOW THE ADVICE TO ADJUST IN SMALL INCREMENTS THEN TEST!

1) Fix your pH by adding either Borax or Washing Soda--Since your TA is low, Washing Soda is fine.
2) After your pH is around 7.6, test for TA. If it's anything above 60, don't worry about it for now.
3) Add bleach until your FC level is between 3 and 6ppm if you don't have algae. Shock to 15ppm if you do (based on CYA of 35).

Go Swimming!
Cool, Thank everyone for the help. It's gets a little confusing.

Once other question, what is a good stabilizer to use along with the bleach?

Also ,is it ok to use bleach all the time in-place of chlorine for a local pool shop?
