High FC and CC?

Hi folks, first time posting here. I just got the Taylor/Leslie’s K-2006 kit and tested my water. I shocked the pool last night and ran the pump all night. I tested the water today and FC is at 8ppm and CC is .5. I know the FC is high because of the shock, but from my understanding a CC of .5 is at the limit of what’s acceptable.

I tested using 10ml of water because I just shocked, so I multiplied the drops by .5. My water is crystal clear, so I’m not sure if I have an issue, or if I need to retest using 25ml of water to get a more accurate reading. Seems to me that my CC can actually be less than .5.

Would love to hear what you all think. Thanks.
 
Welcome to the forum. Great decision to get a quality test kit.
A CC of 0.5 is fine. CC is the reaction of chlorine oxidizing an ammonia based organic. Most prevalent is urine, human or animal.

Maintain your FC based on FC/CYA Levels
