Oh Most Def the pink to clear is 100% easier for me to determine! I will use the 10ml sample from here on in.

"Your FC of 0.6ppm using the 25ml sample shows us that the chlorine in your pool is actively enagaged in oxidising something. You can watch it for a couple days to see if it goes away (or gets worse) or you can shock your pool. I think you should shock your pool." (sorry don't know how to use Multi-quote and am in a hurry)
* I am assuming you meant CC of 0.6 here and also in the next paragraph "and your CC is les than 0.5ppm (10ml sample - 0.2ppm *FC* for 25 ml sample)"

I will be shocking my pool this evening. I still have it covered as we are having storms again today. Do I need to wait till evening even with it covered or can I go ahead and shock now since the pool won't be used and won't be receiving sun?

After shocking and I test in the morning if chl is below the 10ppm, do I add more at that moment or wait until evening again? I will keep swimmers out of the pool until I get this chl level adjusted. Also if I add it right after the low reading, is there a time frame I should wait before I test again?

Side note, I have been running my pump/filter 24/7 at this point because of the numbers being so off. SWCG is running now for a 4 hour span. I am seeing some algae and plan on vacuuming it out today before I shock tonight. Explains why my CC is up there!

Thanks!
