Leaves will consume some chlorine, but highly unlikely to cause a CC that high. Wondering if it might be testing error?
FC HIGH Need to lower SWG??

I would suspect test error. Possibly not running the fc part to completion or incorrect multiplier for the volume used. With cooler water, the test reactions slow down, which can lead to test error if one does not swirl enough. A SpeedStir can be helpful in such cases.
I have a link in my signature for a video of the fas-dpd test.

Did another test and same results. The FC is 18-20 with the FAS-DPD and the OTO test was off scale with a definite orange color instead of yellow. I did turn the SWG down TO 10%. Any other suggestions
The whole question was whether your CC was that high. And then you did not report it for the new test?
Yea forgot that. Just did it again and added 42 drops to get it clear, then 5 drops of 0003 and it's still clear yielding no CCs. Isn't that FC way high though?
With no cc, you're in good shape. I would turn the swg off to allow the fc to come down a bit.
If you have a mesh cover, you could put it on now, but I would allow the system to run a few hours a day until the water got too cold for algae to grow or you started to get freezing weather. If you have a solid cover, you can cover and shut everything down.

Sounds like the CC are 0ppm which is good.
Are you using a 25ml water sample or a 10ml sample? You should use 10ml so each drop is 0.5 ppm and save your reagent if you are not.
