New Hayward Ozone pool owner here

No worries. email [email protected] They'll likely send you one.

Use the end of a coffee stirrer or a very small spoon. You remember when Mcdonalds had coffee stirrers that were spoons? It is about 1/2 of one of those. You only need 1/10 of a gram, so the amount is smaller than a pinch of salt. Add a very small amount, do it in tiny increments. When the water turns red, continue the test from there.
 
If you used 10mL, yes, your FC is 4.

Too late tonight. Re-read the instructions here. Link-->Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

You need to do test at night, 30 minutes after the addition and the pump needs to be running those 30 minutes.

You also need to run pump overnight, or 30 minutes before morning test.

You need to test after sunset and before sunrise.
 
There are three positive indicators to SLAM
1) Visible algae / Cloudy pool
2) Failed OCLT
3) CC >=1

OCLT is a positive sign that you don't have algae.

Is there any visible algae? Does the pool water look like this?...Link-->How Clear is TFP Clear?

Finally CC. I did you a disservice. I apologize. I should have recommended that you get R-0003 in addition to the 870/871. The 003 is what you use to test CC. Do you have 003 in your kit? If not order some. R-0003 DPD #3 Reagent
