pH is _WAY_ too high. Like high enough for me not to believe the strips.
Under the circumstances, I think Sunny has a valid suggestion, let the pool store test your water.
Throw chlorine at it.
Yes, the SLAM is a process and involves testing, and this is decidedly not a SLAM. But it can't hurt and at worst you waste a few extra gallons of bleach. On the plus side if the inspector comes a callin', you can show him all the empties as evidence that you're working on the problem and that should buy you a couple days to get a decent test kit.
I don't see a listing for the size of your pool, so I can't tell you how much to add, but PwrStrk's 2 1/2 gallon twice a day suggestion is as good a place to start as any.
As I understand it, the high pH is a problem _mostly_ because you can't measure pH with high chlorine levels (chlorine bleaches out the test colors). MA (Muriatic acid, or Hydrochloric acid - all the same stuff) should be available in some strength at any decent hardware or home center. Never understood why I sometimes find it in the paint department, but it's also often with the masonry tools and supplies - used to eat the cement off tools. My local Lowes and Home Depot have it in the garden center with a few other pool supplies.
Don't ever mix acid and bleach, don't add them to the pool at the same time. (a couple minutes and the other side of the pool is usually enough) It will liberate lots of chlorine gas and you will _not_ enjoy breathing it. Most packages will have recommendations to not even store them together.
