You pump has been on the whole time? It should not be possible for the FC to rise ... so one of those 2 tests was off or it was not fully mixed after an hour (which is surprising).
Which one is right???

Well that explains it. Usually we recommend you leave it off so you get a feel for the FC consumption. IF the CC stay low, leave the pump on and turn the SWG off and try the OCLT.Themacdadt said:
10 pm last nite fc 26. Cc o. 6am this morning fc 26.
So I assume now leave swg off, pump on, and let the chlorine level drop to proper range.
Then adjust rest of chemical levels to suggested?

Ok I'll wait for the ph but wanted to test everything else now that's its been 11 hours. Here we go.
Fc 18. Cc 0. Ta 150. Ch. 90. Cya 55. Should I wait also to get these levels correct? If so, your suggested levels, and if you think I should get them to the levels to and the borates (borax)

The only things I see that needs to be done is raising the CYA and CH some.
Ideally the TA would be lower, but you can not deal with that until you can measure the pH ... and even then there is no hurry and as you keep the pH in range, the TA will slowly drop.
Forget about borates for now.

Well then just raise the CYA a bit and get the SWG dialed in to maintain adequate FC levels.
Then keep an eye on the pH which will tend to rise both due to the higher TA and due to the use of a SWG ... note aeration from spillover, waterfall, and spa use will also raise the pH.

Here's a update on the down slope of SLAMMING. Fc 11.5, cc 0, ta 130, ch 410' cya 70
Swg is still off, waiting till fc drops to proper range. Pump still runs it's cycle daily.
Ounce fc gets to 7 I should then control ph correct? Not until then? And then control my ta.
I have not added any chlorine since Monday, going on 5days now. I would say a few more days till it gets down to 7.
Any advise, please let me know.

Ok, one week after slamming. Swg has been off for the whole week. Last night fc was 10.5. Got about a inch of rain today and just tested.
Fc 8.5, cc .5, ta 120, ch 370, cya 50, salt 3000' ph 8.2
Will start swg back up tomorrow to dial it in to suggested level, do I know work on getting the rest of to suggested levels? And what order should I do?
