It's a weird glitch at times. We see that you did it 'in 4 hours' like we can see the future.

I have an Ebony Blue Leisure pool...watch out for scratches...
Sometimes I just dump it right there as I'm 'well above min' and don't need to think about it until at least tomorrow, probably a few days even. Lol.
With my Swg not connected yet I will continue rolling “hot”. Start waterfalls Monday and hopefully we will be done. PB showed up said most new builds are a swamp what are you doing? Told them tab feeder they installed was doing a “great” job. 
So added about 1800g of water yesterday. Tested FC this morning see logs. Used a filter on water hose. Tested said water this morning after shock of test. 1.5ppm chlorine. Whoops. Anyone else have this happen. 
No.
. I would have expected about a 15% dilution for FC / salt /CYA and a slight decrease in CH because the fill water likely has some CH. What are you looking to filter out of the fill water ? Those hose filters aren't good for much. They remove the chlorine (from the fill water) and not much else. 100ft of old dirty hose may have already removed the chlorine before it gets to the filter.
We have hard well water here turns everything orange and then black. Leaves a white residue on my plants and bushes so I started to use a filter. Will retest tonight. Also has a about 2 lbs of stone dust from waterfall build. Getting closer. 
Test it right out of the filter and see if it helps. My guess is it doesn't. My fridge with a similar filter doesn't remove any calcium.
Tested it rt out the filter and that is where I hit the 1.5ppm on my test. I last added a gallon of 10% bleach a few days ago. Been really cloudy this past week. Thinking the Trichlor tabs they added have finally fully dissolved. Add the 1.5ppm filtered water I added and I am super hot right now. Will retest tonight and tomorrow morning. #staytuned lol Pool guy said he did not add anything

Ok dropped 200lbs of salt in and fired up the swg. Will test tomorrow after 24hrs. Kid enjoy last few days before he leaves for school again. Cool deck tomorrow if rain holds up. Sod yesterday. Water bill thru the roof for 10 days
Ok ordered TF Pro with salt. Not digging the salt test strip. Do I trust this or is there an actual salt test similar to other tests
in the kit? For salt in log do I use swg insta or average salt for now?

That would be 3 items:
Did you by chance order the standard TF Pro and ADD the salt test strips?
That would be 3 items:
- 0.75oz R-0630 Chromate Indicator Reagent
- 0.75oz R-0718 Silver Nitrate Reagent
- TF Graduated Cylinder
- Printed instructions
