I have algae,but my water chemistry checks ok. cya 50, FC 8,PH 7.6,TA 70. Don't understand why I have algae. I check ph and and fc at least every other day. I check cya every month, If my cya reads 50 at the beginning of the month I use that reading for my fc for the entire month. I use TFP test kit. Thanks for any ideas where I'm going wrong. I also use bleach for cl and to shock.
Algae With Correct Test Levels

Have you done an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test yet? If not, start there and report back. Also, what is your CC reading?
You may be keeping the algae from a full bloom by adding chlorine every day, but if you don’t kill it with a SLAM Process, it won’t go away.

If the FC tests good yet you still see algae, it's a circulation problem. Maybe you should test FC closer to where the algae is, after the pool is cleared, of course. You'll probably need to play with aiming your returns differently, and in the future, brush more or put some kind of autovacuum in there that will keep things stirred up so chlorine gets everywhere.
