Keep it up, you'll get there! I was in a very similar spot, bad pool store advice had me adding pucks to keep the FC way to low, while raising my CYA to 140. I had to drain half my pool to lower the CYA to 85. So my SLAM took an FC of 35, lot's of bleach... Having been through it now, I know I'll never buy anything from the pool store again, and certainly won't ever listen to them again. It took me 22 weeks of keeping the FC at 35, but it's finally done, and now I have the knowledge to never let it get that way again.
I also had to clean the cartridge filter a bunch! But it got better towards the end, and now is perfect...
My advice would be to be super diligent about keeping that FC as close to 16 as possible, otherwise you're losing ground. Maybe have somebody add some bleach during the day while you're away. Especially as you'll lose some FC to sunlight.
Great advice to be found here, keep it up!
