Hi, I have been struggling to clear up the cloudiness in my pool (I think it's because of the high CYA) for 3 weeks now. I opened to a green, swampy mess and am getting very close as my OCLT result is only 0.35. Problem is, I added too much CYA and my reading is 95/105. I see it is suggested to have the CYA at a level of 70 for my SWG and keep the FC between 5 and 10. I also see with the Pool Math App that with my current CYA reading of 95/105 that a FC reading of 7 is suggested.....which is still within the 5/10 that is suggested if my CYA was 70. I was just going to go drain a bunch from my pool to get the CYA in check but wonder if it's a waste of time/water/money....also wonder if keeping the FC at 7 (which seems high and maybe uncomfortable for swimming) is a good idea or a normal thing. This will bug me until I get opinions from people with more experience than me, hence my post. So should I remove water and get the CYA at a level of 70 so I can keep my FC requirements down to 5-ish, or should I leave things alone with my high CYA level of 95/105 and run with a FC closer to 7? Thanks
Here are my readings

AL- 95/103 (going to add some decreaser)
CA- 85 (dunno, should I add some increaser)
CL- 5
CC- 0.25
CU- 0.07
PO4- 0.24
