    Angry High Chlorine Demand / PH stubborn to go up

    Hello ! ok , so I built up the CYA to respectable 20-30ppm and threw in 3.5 gallons of liquid chlorine from my pool store. Put in 3 floating stabilized pucks ...barely a chlorine level...waited a bit 3 more gallons , still nothing
    went to work on PH...over 2 weeks I added 10lbs of baking soda and PH has moved from 6.9 to 7.1 (still low)

    FC 0.09
    TC 0.46
    CC 0.37
    PH 7.1
    Hardness 213
    Alk 113
    CYA 35
    copper 0
    iron 0
    phosphate 815 (high)

    added 2 cups of Soda Ash & after 4 hours added 2 gallons liquid chlorine ...pump running all day , pool cover open...

    Do I just need to keep hammering pool with Soda Ash & Chlorine....seems like the CL/PH is being stubborn & super high demand! Just tested & looks like 0 Chlorine...
    thanks!
