Sometimes there are residual effects from the pool store additions that were put in prior to using the TFP methods.
New to forum. Algae help please!

Meaning it may take longer to get results from SLAMing?

Here are my morning #'s
FC 9
CC .5
CYA 40
I put a sock in with cya Monday and another yesterday because I didn't have enough the first time. So now that my cya level has increased my FC needs to increase to 16 right? Instead of the 12 I've been aiming for?

Correct - increase FC to 16 and keep-on SLAMing.
Thanks for your help!

Dave is right! Brush with all you've got and follow the advice here. Your filter (if it is working properly and maintained), brushing, balanced chemistry and bleach will get your water where you want it.
Keep it up! You'll get there
So I checked my levels through the day yesterday. Kept FC at 16ish. Checked at 930pm FC 13.5, added 1/2 bottle of bleach bringing FC to 18 at 11pm.
I checked at 7am today and FC is 13.5
CC is .5
Still no change to the water. I know it's only been 4 days but I'm getting frustrated. I feel like FC should start to stabilize soon. I'm doing everything suggested to me i.e. Brushing, vacuuming keeping FC level as much as possible, backwashing and cleaning filter. Is there anything else I'm missing?

It's really been 3 days POP (Pool Owner Patience).
Some SLAMs take 2 weeks or longer. Since your water isn't a swamp, it shouldn't take that long but it might take through the weekend.
Obligatory: Lights, ladders, steps are out yes?
How does the water look?

Ha. Technicalities. Yes everything is out of the pool. Just water in there.

This mornings #s.
FC 13 (from around 16)
CC.5
CC is holding steady at .5. Does that mean we've hopefully killed off something?
Still looking about the same other than good sun today

Have you had to backwash very often? (You should when your PSI reaches 25% over it's "clean" value.) don't forget the rinse cycle, too. It looks like you are to the filtering portion of your SLAM. Don't give up!
Edited to add: I now saw where you said you were backwashing regularly. Too often can hinder a bit, not sure if you read about the 25% before or not.
