Why is a chlorine floater a bad idea?

So I should add more Chlorine? According to the pool store's printout, 5 is high. But you are correct that algae does form on certain area over a few days if I do not scrub regularly.

Or should I attempt to reduce the stabilizer? Can I reduce the stabilizer?

The only way to lower CYA is a partial drain/refill. Your choice is either that or keep your chlorine levels higher as stated above.

Good luck.
