Tested a couple of times last night 3:00, 7:00, & 11:30 and again this morning at 9:00 AM Test results are the same every time. Tested multiple times this morning with different samples each time to determine if I could possibly be making an error. Also had my wife run a test for validation.
FC 24.5
CC 0
The clarity is definitely improving, BUT... My water is NOT clear & blue, it has a clear greenish cast. I can see the drain but not clearly. I brushed pretty thoroughly last night with only some cloudiness increase after. Still getting the sandy grit in the filter but it is no longer fully plugging. Only a 4 PSI increase overnight.
SO........ My FC is not falling and CC is Zero, & I have not added bleach for over 4 days now. My intent was not to perform an OCLT but effectively this is what I did. The one exception is that this morning's sample was after a couple of hours of sunlight. BUT... No FC loss so that shouldn't matter.

It appears to me (keep in mind I am new to this) that there is no longer benefit to keeping the chlorine at slam level since there seems to be nothing in the water consuming the chlorine. If I am incorrect, please explain the reasoning. Please know that I am not doubting the process at all but I AM a tad anal retentive about understanding
everything
To my mind, the only thing improving water quality at this point is the filtration and I should let the FC drop to the proper level and balance the rest of the chemistry. Based on my FC loss rate, this could take over a week giving the filter lots of time to clean up the cloud.
Let the classes begin
