Re: Lazy river
How are you testing and chlorinating? I suspect your testing is at fault
I don't see how your pH can be zero as it's either acidic or alkaline with 7.0 being neutral. If no pH is being shown then it's very acidic and dangerous
Low total alkalinity isn't a problem if you have a stable pH

Not very well from the sound of it!
Come back with a full set of results from a proper test (not dip strips) maybe then we can try to understand you (no pH) must be pure muratic acid then?

pH is a scale from 0 to 14, where does -70 come from?
What are the other important water figures, Hardness, Cyanuric acid? you won't maintain a free chlorine figure without cyanuric acid stabiliser.

Re: Lazy river
You haven't replied as to how you are testing or chlorinating
You need a decent FAS/DPD test kit to get these numbers
AS teapot says dip strips and pool store testing isn't accurate

Re: Lazy river
You still haven't given all of the numbers (can your kit do that) or tell us how you are chlorinating
I searched the web for Lisle test kit and didn't come up with any results
You need a decent FAS/DPD test kit (Taylor K2006c or TF100) that will give you everything
For the time being go to a pool store with a sample and get them to check your numbers (not recommended for continous use)
That's if you are really interested in checking your water quality
