Increase CYA

Opened the pool two weeks ago and CYA was slightly below 30. So I bought one gallon of liquid stabilizer which should increase CYA by 12 ppm based on the calculation. Added 7am in the morning, 7 hours later CYA still reads at 30. Am I doing something wrong? Searched forum, people seem to be happy with their liquid stabilizer.

FC: 5ppm
PH: 7.8
Salt: 3300 ppm
TA: 90
 
Only adding 12 ppm of CYA is tough to measure. The resolution of the test is not that fine.

If you wish to raise your CYA, add another gallon. You should be able to test for it in about 24 hours. Or use the powder. Cheaper and if you use the sock method, just as fast.
