Definitely good to know, whichever spot had the lowest FC, that should be where you pull any and all test samples from ?.

Mdragger88, yes, it has been clear in last 3 days. I did not toss a coin but believe in the deep end I could tell its face during the daytime.
I elevated FC level to 19~20 ppm 24 hours ago. Just +5ppm 1 hour ago so FC can maintain at high level by noon. Almost there ;-)

I am also wondering if there is benefit to keep the fc at mustard algae shock level for another day?
Do not leave FC at mustard level for longer than 24 hours. You risk damage to your equipment. After the 24 hours you are done and should let it drop back down to the upper range of your maintenance level.

Looks good! Is your cya still 30? If so u wanna bump it up to 60 but do it in stages - add 1/2 the recommended amount- test in a few days then proceed based on the results. We recommend dry stabilizer added via the sock method- put it in a tube sock (w/out holes) & hang it infront of a running return where it doesn’t touch the side of the pool- squeeze it every now & then & it will dissolve.
Then immediately maintain the high target fc# for that cya level. Never go to or below minimum fc for your cya again & tell algae goodbye ?
Test fc daily & add liquid chlorine to supplement until u get the swg dialed in ?

Good advice. I wasn't thinking about managing between CYA and FC level when dialing in SWCG.
