Looking For Some Advice

[WildM]

I added 6 lbs of Stabilizer through a sock in the return before 6-16-11 within the next few days I added another 3 lbs same method (9 LBS Total) - It has been a couple of weeks so my CYA should show up but it is not what I would except it to be based on your advice and the company that built the pool. When I do test the CYA it is hazy all the way to the top, but it is reading better then when I had 0 CYA. Note: Back Washing I seldom need to do, I will do it just because some times but after I cleaned up all the crap and leaves out, the sand filter stays around 1 - I added the CYA after I cleaned up most all the leaves etc when I could see the bottom though the pool was still very hazy - So I would say that I did not back wash the CYA out of the pool based on how I added it through the retrun and seldom have to backwash.

On to the readings

In a 40K gallon pool, 9 lbs. of stabilizer will only give you a reading of about 28ppm which isn't really gonna show up in a test. The minimum that can show is usually around 30. I think you just need to add more CYA. Add about 4 more lbs and then retest it in about a week and report your level. That should give you a level that can be detected and it should read about 40-45ppm of CYA.
