Brushed the walls, bottom, and every other possible spot. Last test was at 5:43pm just tested again and my FC went from 27 to 29. Not sure if I missed counted or it's still rising.
CYA reading off the charts??? Maybe??

Probably a miscount of drops. You aren’t using anything other than liquid chlorine (bleach), right?

Just tested at 730am went from 28FC last night to 22FC this morning. Algae or whatever it is on the bottom is back as well. Going to add more bleach and brush.

Good idea, follow the slam instructions to the letter, you probably have algae and keep killing it and you have to sweep up the dead algae. The slam will completely erraticate the algae and you won't have any more dead bodies
I want to get in to make a whirlpool and get all that stuff that's on the bottom into the middle and vacuum it out through the waste.
If that stuff on the bottom is algae will it begin to change colors as it dies?
And should I maintain a level higher then 24-FC during the slam to eradicate this algae problem I've had for almost 6 months

LOL, that’s exactly what I did!

Since 24 is your SLAM level with your CYA at 60, that’s the FC you shoot for during your SLAM. Just keep testing and raising chlorine to 24, keeping pump going and brushing and vacuuming. This will eliminate your algae, promise! Don’t forget hidden algae traps like stairs, ladders, etc.
I took the stairs out. Can it be in and around the light that is part of where the water returns back into the pool?
Just retested my CYA and it's over 70. I rushed that..... So now I'm draining more water. Did a whirlpool and got out so much of that gunk on the bottom. The bottom of the pool does not feel slimy.
Also after I refill it how long do I need to wait before I can retest my pH and cya and start this process over again??
