Why is pool store getting a chlorine reading but the sticks that are used at home don't?
The test strips for home read free chlorine. You could have a chlorine lock where your total chlorine is there but free chlorine is being used up by bacteria. You may need to SUPER shock your pool with granulated chlorine. Another possibility is your strips are old. They usually are good for a year after the date on package. Also keep them dry and closed when not in use.
How do you test the amount of chlorine in your pool?
You have plenty of options ranging from inexpensive Test Kits and Test Strips through relatively expensive test kits. I recommend what is known as a 4-in-1 Test Kit - which includes tests for chlorine, pH, Acid demand and Total Alkalinity. Not expensive, available at any Pool Shop or harware store (Ace, Home Depot etc). One brand is All-Clear. I believe this type of Test Kit to be more reliable than Test Strips, although the strips are inexpensive and very convenient. Chlorine tests are essential for monitoring chlorine levels - whether chlorine is added manually or automatically with a saline (salt-water) system.

Maybe too much chlorine bleaching out strips try diluting a sample to see if you can get colour in the strips , try half pool water half tap then quarter pool and three quarters tap if colours appear then you have too much chlorine, also check your pH is below 7.8 as above this chlorine doesn't work properly
Why do test strips show no chlorine reading even after stabilizer and chlorine were added if the pH and alkalinity are fine?
How much chlor added? Add at least a gallon of chlor. less if vinyl pool. Test in 20 min. and adjust as needed. Ph and alk = fine. Hmm, what are your readings? How old are test strips? Have they been left in the sun or outside? = no good then get new ones. k
