High fc doesn’t cause cloudiness.
There may still be cloudiness due to dead algae that has not all been filtered out but the slam should not end until all 3 end of slam criteria have been met.
To refresh-
For a successful SLAM Process
you need to continue to
MAINTAIN Slam level fc for your cya as often as possible (multiple times per day is best- the more often you test & replenish slam level fc the faster the process goes) until you meet
ALL 3 end of slam criteria-
You are done when:
CC is 0.5 or lower;
You pass an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test
AND
the water is clear.

*Check & scrub every nook & cranny where algae may hide (light niches, steps, drain covers, ladder handrails, skimmer throats/weirs, etc.)
*Run slam level water through all water features & lines for at least a
couple hours a day during the
SLAM Process.
*Brush & or vac daily (this breaks up biofilms that algae uses to protect itself from chlorine)
*Backwash/clean filter when pressure rises 25%over clean pressur
