How high can FC be? Can I keep adding liquid to ensure the algae is killed off? I added two gallons last week. It was a Green Swamp two weeks ago and the SLAM it sort of under control.
It has been a wild spring here due to a series of medical issues that caused me to
opened the pool late. While opening the darn pool I tightened the PVC too much. I cracked the PVC male part screwing into the Haywood multiport. Hand tight apparently is relative. That fix was an experience -a 6 hour experience. The fun continued because while fixing the " in port" I must have leaned on the PVC return that comes out of the multiport head, because it sprung a leak. UGH!!!!!
Admittedly, due to the issues stated above, I rushed thru the reading of how to SLAM but I think I got it going and 90% complete before the leak became a gush of trouble. Yesterday I successfully repeated and completed a careful hacksaw removal of the PVC threaded part without messing up the threads that go into the multiport. I installed new piping and gave it a night to think about all the pain it caused me. Today it worked great. No leak.
So back to the Algae fight:
There is still a green fog here and there. Particularly when I brush the bottom corners of the deep end for example. My FC is high and no real issue , I'm swimming laps... I want to put in more liquid chlorine just to kill any of the Algae demons still hiding and waiting to reboot.

Can I keep added liquid? The Free Cholrine does not go down.
