On day 10 managimg my pool:

Current test results:
Chlorine: 1.0 ppm
CYA: 50
pH: 7.8
Calcium: 290
Alkalinity:110
Salt:3600

I’ve got some algae forming in the shallowest part of pool. Brush it (stainless) and comes back next day.

SWG set to 60% chlorinating. Pump runs 16 hours per day.

Pool is newly renovated:

13,500 gallons

I test water with Taylor’s 2006 salt kit.

Seems like I need to either turn up my SWG % or add liquid chlorine?

What’s steps to take and what products to buy, Advise is appreciated.

Read the things that @wireform posted and it appears that you are running very low chlorine, here's a CYA to chlorine calculator: The Free Chlorine and Cyanuric Acid Relationship

Yes, add liquid chlorine to get the initial chlorine up, the salt cell just maintains the chlorine loss assuming that you're not losing a lot of chlorine per day.
