With high CYA like you report, you'll have to run high chlorine levels. If you haven't already done so, please read the Best Guess Chlorine Chart in my signature below about the connection between CYA and chlorine levels. You need to get the K-2006. You'll have to order it online. It isn't going to be available locally.
My CYA is around 40, I thought that was in range. Also some of the links you provided are not accessible (Testkits, Pool Chemicals, Cloudy Water, Using Muriatic acid)
