My pool test results

Fyi, you should test the pH and chlorine immediately. Only the CYA test needs the water to warm up.
Ok will do but I thought that PH was invalid due to me slamming at 24 fc

Water is crystal clear, i've been scrubbing it every other day or so when I get a chance, I have been vacuuming it daily. my OCLT loss is about -1.5 to -3.5, I admit though that I have been dosing to keep my FC around 25ish at night since I know it will drop to 22-23ish. Am I getting close to the end you think? it has been like this for about 4 days or so. I started slamming on 3/16 (10 days)
On a side note my CYA is about 55, so I put exactly 1lb of stabilizer (per poolmath to get it to 60) in a sock (i've learned my lesson) in front of the return yesterday, man its 75% already dissolved and im not spending time to move the stuff around on the bottom of my pool like I did last week...never again!

Ran my first test using my SWG at 75%, I did not add any bleach since yesterday morning.
Last night it was 12.5, this morning it was 12.0. 0 Chloromines.
Checked at 630pm, showing at 13.5. I've now set my pump (full speed) to turn on at 10am and shut down at 6pm. Will check in the morning again.

Yep, water is crystal clear, <1 chloromines, <1 loss of chlorine

Awesome! So glad it worked for you, and credit to you for taking the initiative to learn.
Got some weird results lately and I need a sanity check.
Yesterday I had my swg set to off as well as today. My CYA is 70 and my FC yesterday was 9.5
Today I retested and my FC went up to 11.5 even with my swg still set to off. Temp is 64 and bright sunlight.
I can't think of what's going on.
Ideas?

That is not possible. FC can not go up without adding it. So, either testing error or the SWG is not truly off.
Yea that's what I thought. I'm using the chlorine test from tftestkits.com the entire time. I can only think that the swg still produces even if set to off....

I tested again about an hour ago. It's gone down to 9.5.
II've been running on 8 hrs on low speed on the pump.
I'll keep an eye on it
Cheers guys

FC still falling albeit slowly. I should wait until it gets to 5 before I can test the pH right or I can below 10?
Tested ph and it was 7.4ish since I'm using a swg I dumped 2 lbs of borax and the this morning was at 7.6. My FC still need to go down to <5 (it's currently at 8) so I've kept my swg set to off still.
Question. How long after putting in borax (I pre dissolved it as best as I could in warm water in a bucket) is it OK to test?

why would having a SWG make you think you should raise the pH with borax? SWG typically drive the pH up themselves so I would have left the pH alone.
