Passed OCLT test last night. Had a strong chlorine smell Sunday night thru Monday, it has gone away. I think something died, now it must go away.
Planning on letting FC drift back to normal levels, balance out water, enjoy pool for a bit. Do Borate treatment in a few weeks.

Since passing OCLT test 2 mornings ago, my FC has risen from 27.5 to 31. Have not added any bleach, SWG is off at the breaker, and it has been 90 degrees here and sunny. Cleaning filter and brushing pool daily.
Any ideas why it is rising?

Pool store numbers

Think I need to order new kit, numbers vary too much.

Testing error?
I think you have a classic case of sparklypoolitis.
Is your water clear?

FC has risen 5 ppm since 8 am, 90 degrees blazing hot sun. Even tried using brand new Chlorine Only cylinder.

It is a bit too high... let it drop below 24 to be safe.
On the bright side you're done slamming
FC will not rise on its own - if no chlorine is being added then its an inconsistency in your testing procedures, some sort of fluke. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Thanks for the reply. FC has risen the past 2 mornings, from 8am till noon. Got it to go lower yesterday afternoon, by increasing RPM on pump, increasing flow.
FC down to 18, summer is here 93 today, water is crystal clear. Physical therapist that works with our special needs son, on learning to swim. Commented today, that we have the best looking water, of all her customers. Told her to tell them all about TFP.com.
Thanks folks!
