How are you testing?

Time to SLAM Process the pool. Simply 'shocking' is a Band-Aid, not a cure.

It's good that you have a proper test kit, time to stock up on bleach and SLAM!

If you could not get the dot to disappear on the CYA test, your CYA is less than 30ppm. Are you testing CYA outdoors on a bright sunny day, back to the sun, holding the vial at about waist level in your shadow?

brought it inside to test.

Should I add a gallon every 3 hours?

The CYA test needs to be re-done outside, as I described.

You need to follow the SLAM Process procedure. I have no idea what size your pool is, or what strength bleach you will be using. Your SLAM level FC is based off of your CYA level. Bleach will need to be added whenever your FC falls below SLAM shock level.

Please re-read the SLAM procedure I linked to.
