I am having issues maintaining Chlorine in my pool. I have a Hayward Turbocell swim pure extreme. It’s only 5 months old, I’ve tested it at the pool store and it passed. My chemicals and sale are perfect. I can only generate chlorine on super chlorinate then it burns off the next day when I put my system back to 100% for 9 hrs. This is very frustrating. Any ideas what could be the issue?

Welcome to the forum!
Can you post a full set of test results from your own test kit?
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.

You most likely need to follow the SLAM Process. To do that, you need a proper test kit, see Test Kits Compared. I suggest the TF-100 A proper test kit is needed to get the accurate water chemistry results needed to follow the TFP protocols.
Once you get your kit, post up your test results. Then do a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test to check for organics in your pool water.

I will order this test kit. Could I run my super chlorinate for say 72 hrs straight and achieve the same thing?

IF your CYA level is 70, that makes your SLAM level FC 28 ppm. Your SWCG cannot achieve that and, as per the SLAM Process article, should be turned off during the process.
