Chlorine level to high to close????

[71CHEVY4X4]

Haven't had the pool open in a few weeks but the pump and swg have been running as usual. Getting ready to close for the season and did a water test. Below are the results

32 FC
.5 -1 CC

CYA is between 40 and 50
PH is above 8.2

Salt level is 2800

Main Question

1. Are these levels OK to close the pool?

Thanks guys

Shut off the SWG and get your pH down to around 7.4 or so.

Then close if your water temp is around 60 or hopefully lower.

Does the PH measure or read correctly with that high of CC and FC?

Does the PH measure or read correctly with that high of CC and FC?

No, FC will need to be below 10ppm for an accurate pH reading

So if that's the case how am I to lower it and measure what the level is?

Should I just close the pool at the current levels?

Since the pH test records high in the presence of high FC, reduce the pH to around 7.4. Your actual pH will STILL not be below 7.0 which is just fine to close.

Right now, you cannot determine just how high it really is because you maxed out the pH test.
