Sorry took so long to get back to you Brian, I was off-Forum for a bit.
Yes, break out the sock again and make sure you squeeze that sucker every chance you get.
You need to try and keep that FC higher than that.
Any time it slips below min FC value for your CYA level, algae it on the rise.
This is indicated by the CC being > 0.
You can raise it beyond recommended level (that is the mid point of range) just stay below Shock level.
Whatever it takes to make sure your FC never falls below min is where you need to be.

If your Target is 50ppm then don't rush up on it. You say you are presently below 20ppm.
I'd add 20ppm this week and retest.
It is such a pain to get it back down that easing up on is better.

Thanks for responding ozdiver and pooldv. I certainly try to keep FC at 4 or higher, adding a gallon plus a day...hoping CYA will increase. I bought another jug of the hth stabilizer and will drop the sock in tomorrow then test again once it dissolves. Until then, feed the bleach monster and build the deck...
