    Will these particulates settle to the bottom of the pool or remain transient and just get caught in the filter?

    Honestly, I don't know. I *think* it mostly filters.

    What puzzled me about using the Kem-Tek product was that I never saw any cloudiness, or particles -- but the PO4 level did come down. However, I was separating dosing and testing by a week or more.

    I used 32oz. yesterday. I will wait and possibly do it again mid-week.

    FYI--- Water is AMAZINGLY clear! I brushed the pool today and there were zero signs of algae. So far... so good.

    Any ideas on how long I should keep the FC level this high?

    Normally, I suggest keeping it elevated a day or 2 AFTER all traces of algae are gone.
