What length of time at night is acceptable to test for OCLT. I was up late and checked at 1:30 in the morning. I'm up now at 7:45 and have lost 1 & 1/2 ppm of FC last night and am not sure if I should change my sand yet or go another day. It has been 2 days like this.

I would change the sand today. THAT might be what is holding back the passing of your OCLT. With you leaving on Tues. I think it best to do it now.

What length of time is acceptable to test for OCLT. I was up late last night checking at 1:30am. This morning at 8 (no sun yet on the pool) and my FC dropped 1 & 1/2 ppm. my CC is 1.4. Should I change media now or try again tomorrow.
1 1/2 loss overnight means you are right on the verge. What is your CC reading? I think one more day of SLAMing may about do it.
I vote for keep going one more day. It looks like all that cleaning exposed some more baquacil to chlorine. Almost done. Make sure it's all out of the pool before the sand is changed and then you will be free of it completely.
I changed my sand and kept the FC up Sunday and Monday CC 1 on Sunday then .4 yesterday. This morning my FC is 9 and my CC is .4 again. I am going to let the FC drop and learn how to take care of a chlorine pool. Thanks to everyone for your help during my conversion. I appreciate it. It greatly helped. If my pool goes green again after going to normal chlorine levels, I may be back. In the meantime, Happy Summer
