We need a full set of test readings on your water to determineif it is "really high". The level of chlorine should be based on the amount of stabilizer in the water, not an arbitrary number like 1 - 3 as pool stores like to say.
It would help us if you would add the following information to your signature
The size of your pool in gallons
If your pool is an AG (above ground) or IG (in ground)
If it's IG, tell us if it's vinyl, plaster/pebble, or fiberglass
The type filter you have (sand, DE, cartridge)
If you know, tell us the make and model of your pump and filter.
List any other equipment you have: SWG, second pump, etc.
Please mention if you fill the pool from a well or are currently on water restrictions
