    I would have to raise the FC to about 30

    Morning log :) FC dropped by about 1ppm overnight but likely less if done a 25ml drip test No CC evident Pool so crystal clear. Yeah! :) I will leave SWG off until FC comes back down to 5, with this hot weather my guess that will be about 3-4 days. thanks guys.

    Yep things are looking good, no more brown dust. I guess my FC was too low allowing the algae to get a hold. Pool is crystal clear.
