Hi all - Recently had in-ground 14 x 28 vinyl pool built in Northern NJ, about 14k gallons. Pool has been open about a month and earlier in the week found a dead mole floating around. I threw in some extra chlorine tablets and cranked the chlorinator up to full speed. Had the water tested yesterday and the chlorine is up to 8ppm. PH is at 8 as well but I was told I shouldn't need to add anything as it will go down on its own due to the other readings (below). Should I be doing anything to lower the PH or will lower chlorine have any effect on that? I'm hoping the sun and nice weather will lower the chlorine. Appreciate any input!
