With your stated 5,061 gallons, 47ozs CYA gets you to 70 (from zero). You added more than that correct?
FC is to low and pH is to high. pH could be much higher as 8 is the max result from the basic test.

Forgive my ignorance how do I shock it? Currious that the only notes from the pool store (wife took it in) was to lower pH using MA. EDIT: Just read the manual for my SWG and it says I can use it to shock the pool by pressing the boost button. It will run 8 times the normal time so in my case 16 hours. Also, I read and realized I've been running my SWG one hour short every day for my current temp I need to be running it 3 hours vs. 2. So, press the boost button and let it run 16 hours to shock or is there another way?
Also, this is what my SWG looks like. Could the white stuff have anything to do with chlorine not being made? When it's on it does bubble which the manual says is it making chlorine.

Don't use your boost setting to shock the pool. That just wears out your cell faster. Just add bleach. Tell me your volume and I'll help you figure out doses of bleach. Also, please make a signature so that we don't constantly have to scroll through threads looking for info. Put your type and size of pool, volume, type of equipment you have, and that you have a K2006. You can make a signature by clicking on the link in my signature below.
EDIT -- Also put well or city water.
After seeing your volume, I remember doing this before somewhere up in this long thread. In a 5061 gallon pool, each quart of 8.25% bleach will add about 4ppm of chlorine. Each cup will add 1ppm. Use those as a reference to figure out how much bleach you should add to get to shock level which is based on your CYA. http://pool9.net/cl-cya/
Based on my CYA level chart says I need to take it to 20ppm so 5 quarts of bleach should do it, right? Do I run the pump while pouring in and how long should I run the pump after? Thanks @watermom.
