Did you enter the proper number of gallons for your pool? Add gallons to your signature as well please. Also, we round CYA up, so dose chlorine with CYA of 50 per this chart Pool School - Chlorine / CYA Chart if this doesn't get you. Post your gallons and we will help

Added. 15,700 Gallons by calculation.
I've been using 8.25% Chlorine Bleach from Menards, But last year it was under $3/gal, this year it'ss $3.99/gallon. Onsale it's 2.94/gal. I called all the pool stores in town and found 1 that sells it in bulk, but it's $3.50 a gallon, though it's 12%. How much is the higher % worth? I have SWG, but it isn't up yet. So soon, I will not need to worry about buying chlorine!

Alrighty.
Pool has been up about a week now, pool is clean, water is clear.
Current Water Specs:
FC - 10
CC - 1.5
PH - 6.8
TA - 120
CH - 60
CYA - 30
I got the SWG hooked up, but it is shut off at the moment. I added in 6 bags if 40lb pool salt today. I will check Salinity tomarrow.
I need to get the PH up, I turned the RJ up to the top of the water. Not sure how much that will bring up the PH.
I hope to start the SWG this week.
Thanks,

I'm no expert, especially on SWG but my understanding after reading a lot here is that you should be raising your CyA levels to 60-80 for a SWG pool.
