This morning around 7:30 I measured around 20 FC .75 CC. Then at noon measured 16 FC and .5 CC so I added enough to get it back to 20. Then at 5:30 I just measured 11.5 FC and .75 CC. I'm in the middle of a slam, water still looks the same but I don't know where all my chlorine is going. Am I just going to have to dump 3 gallons of chlorine a day in?
No overnight loss, huge daytime loss, still cloudy

Based on your SLAM FC number, can we assume your current CYA is 50? If so, then the FC of 20 is what you need, so yes, do you best to maintain it consistently. The algae (cloudiness) is taking your FC along with the summer sun. That also explains the rising CC level as it gets oxidized. It's a double-threat which is why it's so important this time of year to watch it closely. At some point that should become more steady.
