Chlorine keeps disappearing

No. That wouldn't have anything to do with it. Follow the advice I wrote above and you'll get it straightened out. We'll be right here to help with any questions along the way!

Yes, listen to 'Mom. Your problem is that your water has something that's causing your chlorine to be eaten up. Probably something biological or ammonia.
I THINK a pound of Di-Chlor add about the same as 1.25 gallons of 6% bleach--ball-parking here, but I know it's a little more than a gallon of bleach. One gallon of 6% will add 12ppm of FC to your pool, so the pound of "shock" was probably good but it would have added something like 8-12ppm of CYA to your pool as well. 3 pounds of Di-Chlor shock would probably put your CYA in the 30-40ppm range (when starting from 0 CYA).
Still, go back to basics. Use bleach to raise your FC to 15 and check and adjust it 3x a day until it stops "vanishing".
Since 1 gallon of 6% will add 12ppm of FC, 1 quart will add 3 ppm. You don't need smaller increments than that.
