Hello everyone. I replaced my Jandy aqua pure 1400 with the platinum edition replacement salt cell for Jandy Aquapure 3 port 1400. My free chlorine levels have been staying between 8-10. I have turned the production level down to zero and added water to the pool to try to drop the level. My ph level is between 7.8 - 8. What do I need to do in order to get my chlorine level back down to recommended levels? Thanks
Chlorine level high

You don't want FC any lower than this with CYA 100.
You should run a CYA test with a diluted sample as described here to ensure that CYA is not actually higher than 100:
