Good morning, I just finished my SLAM (16). My FC and CC remained the same overnight. Now, I want to start my SWG and get the other readings in normal range but I find many variations on this site as to the order. Pool Math doesn't state what order to adjust readings. Here's my latest readings as of 10:30 am today:

pH: 7.3
TA: 120
CYA: 30
FC: 16 / CC: 0.5 <<< This was my reading at 6:30 am before the Sun came up

Questions:
1. Wouldn't CYA need to get bumped up to help protect the FC?
2. I reinstalled my SWG but still need to add Salt as it's sitting at 2000.
 
Chlorine is always king. Always follow this...Link-->FC/CYA Levels
To keep chlorine, you need CYA. 30-60 is fine. During summer, 60 will help protect FC.
Turn your SWG off when you add salt and wait 24 hours after adding to turn SWG on.
Maintain FC with liquid chlorine.
Your TA and pH are just fine.
