  1. Make sure that you measure water first, then put the spinner in.
  2. Make sure as @HermanTX indicated the batteries are oriented correctly.
  3. Make sure they are new ALKALINE batteries. Rechargeable batteries do not work.

Focus on CYA, FC, and pH all together. You can add chlorine and acid 15 minutes apart.

Your pH and TA are fine.

Get 30-40ppm of solid stabilizer dissolving int he pool in front of returns using the sock method.

Recommended Pool Chemicals

Which should I buy? TFP's recommended pool chemicals are cheap, easy, and won't unbalance your pool water.

Solid/granular CYA should be placed in a sock and the sock put in the skimmer basket or suspended in front of a pool return. If suspending near a return jet, ensure the sock cannot rest against the pool surface since the granules are acidic and could potentially discolor the surface. After adding CYA you should leave the pump running for 24 hours and not backwash/clean the filter for a week. After soaking for about 30 minutes, squeezing the sock periodically will help it to dissolve faster. Test and dose chemicals in your pool assuming the amount of CYA added is in the pool according to Poolmath. CYA can be tested the day after it is fully dissolved from the sock.

How will you be chlorinating your pool?

Maintain your FC at 5-7.

I hope you do not have the mineral cartridge in your Frog system.
 
8 lbs of dry stabilizer will raise your CYA to 48 which is more then necessary.

Add 6lbs and your CYA should get between 30 and 40 which we round up to 40.
 
Whatever you do don’t store the chlorine and the MA near each other - they react potentially lethally

Many store the MA outside - by itself it vents from the bottle and fumes are very corrosive to metal
