    Goofed on test results, not sure what to make of it.

    I misread FC after starting to SLAM last evening and thought I had exceeded my target of 28. In reality, FC was 14. This was about 90 minutes after adding enough bleach to bring FC to 28, based on Pool Math and my test results. Today FC was holding steady at 14, CC less than .5 and the water...
