I don't have an alkalinity # in the current test results.

No chemist here, but the numbers I would be most interested in is, the Alkalinity. Especially after adding the Lime. You don't need to send out for that, if you have a basic pool test kit. Easy to get one, Walmart, any Pool or Hardware store.
I'd make notes on pH and Alkalinity tests for a while, do it at mornings and at evenings. Those numbers will be different. Then you'll have a better idea of your water quality.
