How high is too high for FC?

Opened up the pool lazily a few weeks ago. T-cell not cleaned and a HEAVY storm lead to some Algae. Pool rose about 4” from the rain.

Yesterday I brought FC to 12 ppm with CYA at 50. Had 3lbs CYA in a filter sock thing and at the end of the night figured I’d dump another gallon of 10%

Anyhow, CYA is fully dissolved and should be around 80+

Pump ran all day yesterday and 7hrs overnight.

FC is now at 35ppm ?

Is it safe to swim in with 80+ CYA?
have the pump running and turned off the SWG.

what else can I do? Turn on heat pump and blower to aerate?

The general rule of thumb here is up to SLAM level. For 80 CYA, that is 31 FC.
Just be patient. Sunlight will bring it down.

So up to SLAM level is safe for swimming?

It didn’t need a SLAM, it wasn’t horrible. I just dumped a gallon and was like “yep, she gone be good now” like an idiot

Overcast today with possible storms. At least it’ll dilute ?
