First off thanks for all the replies so fast, its safe to swim if the water is clear ? What FC levels should I shoot for ? I would like to wait until start of next season if I have to replace water, some conflicting information about if its forever or will go away.

Would the bromide raise it that much ? google results say the sun will burn the bromide up , is that true ?

No salt added just bleach and the algicide (sodium bromide)

Yes it does . ~4800

Not sure why it’s not showing my signature.

It’s a pentair IC-60 i will add to signature

James all my levels were good before the algae , salt was right around 3500

I see nothing on the label about not using in a salt pool .

The FC is holding its 9-10 level with full sun 90 degrees today and the intellichlor is blinking high salt . Is that still making chlorine?

FC 9 Cc 0 Alk 90 Cal 300 Salt level reading 4800 Ph 7.1

No it’s still a chlorine pool

Added the bromide per my pool builder tech but we got the calculations wrong , not using the heater water is 87 , it’s been hot here and will be all week, pool is full sun all day .

It’s a large pool so each slam was probably around 40 gallons give or take . Also 6lbs of sodium bromide(way more than needed wife miscalculated)

In the past month I have slammed the pool twice for what I suspect is algae, both times for 3 days , 1st time just bleach , 2nd time bleach and algaeside . Water was clear but my FC was coming in low again. Now the salt generator is saying high salt and my Tayler salt kit also says it’s high...

Followed the Slam procedure a couple weeks back and thought the algae was gone for weeks but now it appears it’s back, FC was low this morning 3.5 instead of 5 so I added bleach and it’s cloudy again like before . Do I Slam again or what next ? Thanks
