    Well thanks to your help and support, I now have a beautiful clear pool. It's so nice to see blue instead of green. FC this morning was 13, PH-7.6 and CYA-50.

    Should I keep the high FC for a while or start to let it drift down?

    To everyone in the forum, don't give up. You have to really hammer this algae. Stick with the system.

    Do you still have a CC reading of 0 or at least no more than 0.5ppm? If so, then go ahead and let the chlorine drift down and make sure you keep it between 3-6ppm all the time.

    Good job! Now, it's time to go swimming!
