Unless you have reasons to think your test results are wrong, I wouldn't go to the store. They are just going to have you 'fix' stuff we've been working to get right. Your stabilizer wouldn't have changed much; your alkalinity is down some; your calcium wouldn't have changed much more than the stabilizer (both due to backwashing & replacing).

So unless you need something from them, I'd stay away!

Keep filtering (and not backwashing until the pressure goes up); keep not adding stuff unnecessarily; hold your pH just under 7.0; keep a little chlorine in; use the polyquat weekly or 2x weekly.

And . . . . be patient. Pool owner IMpatience is the #1 profit maker for sellers of unneeded pool chemicals: they can't fix you up faster, but they can sell you something that claims to do that! They don't have magic wands for pools; they just pretend they do.
