CYA for Salt Chlorinator Pools II

[Strawfoot]

Novice here, so please have a little patience with my question. I have a new salt water pool, approx 27,500 gallons, in-ground, with Goldline/Aqualogic equipment. The problem I am having is my Free Chlorine level has been practically zero. PH and all other levels are fairly normal.

After intial shocking using the chlorinator, I ran the CYA at about 30ppm. I used bleach a couple times to get the FC level up, but now have started to rely on the chlorinator.

After hearing that salt water pools require higher CYA, a couple days back I added stabilizer (using tied up socks in the skimmer to desolve the stuff). Today the CYA read 70 ppm (where I absolutely cannot see the black dot.) But my FC level is still pretty much zero.

Do I need to wait a couple more days for the CYA level to take effect, or is there something else I need to do. Chlorinator level of the spa is 10% and pool is at 50%. I'm thinking I may need to shock again. Weather here has been cold, with some rain.

Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
