Well, your water has a while to go yet before it's TFP clear. The OCLT needs all three things: FC loss </=1, CC </= 0.5, and clear water.
I like to use these pics as an example. This is pretty close to the level of clear you are looking for.

Ok i understand, will forget about the test for now i guess until i have clear water like shown in the pictures. Will keep SLAMing..

Today's report:
I was SLAMing today. At some point i measured and CYA looked like 70, could it have dropped 10? Why? Late afternoon, after sun was out of the pool, my husband took the light out, brushed as best as he could and i told him to pour 1 Gallon of clorox in there but it obiously went into the water. I had measured and poured bleach (seems like a little more than i should have) but it went up to 40 ( my shock level should be 31).. time has passed and he just measured 44.5. I think is the first time it has gone up to much. I can see dirt in some places but the cleaner doesnt pick it up. I still cant figure out what the timer is for. Also, inside sunroom there are 2 switches next to each other, one turns on the changing color light, the other one makes some noise in this equipment by the pool, that the store guy guessed it was the light (because sticker mentions color wheel) but i cant figure out what that switch is supposed to do.
Also wanted to share my setup and maybe one of you can tell me if i have a heater?!
Thanks

Your FC is WAY over for your CYA of 70-80. You are in danger of bleaching your liner.
Ok just let it keep coming down till you hit your recommended level again. Are you measuring out how much you are adding or just dumping in a gallon and hoping for the best?
I am mesuring but when its .6 a gllon or .2 or stuff i just guess that part

The two switches; One is the light the other is for the color wheel. Some lights have a literal wheel with different colors on it, that sits in front of the bulb. You can change the color based on your mood, or just leave it on and it will cycle through the different colors.

Thanks a lot!
So how could I tell if there is a heater?

From the photos you shared, I'm not sure you have a heater, unless it's somewhere other than the locations where you shared photos above. As mentioned, it'll be a big, square metal box with a switch on its side and a thermostat of some sort. There will be a water pipe going into and out of it after the pipes leave your filter.
HUGE amount of progress! WOW! It will only be a couple to few more days until you can see the screw heads in the main drain! You are doing great!
