Hello! I’m a new pool owner. It’s a sand filter with SWG. The test strips are testing the total and free chlorine as very high and the stabilizer is low at zero. I do have stabilizer that I can add. Will this help lower the chlorine? And should I not run the SWG today since the chlorine is already high? Thank you!
Chlorine levels are high

You need a proper test kit. I suggest the TF-100 A proper test kit is needed to get the accurate water chemistry results needed to follow the TFP protocols.
If you wish to treat this as a seasonal pool, then you need a simple 6 way drop test kit from Walmart, etc. You will drain the pool when an issue arises.
TFPC will not provide chemistry guidance based on test strips. Test strips are inaccurate and not repeatable.
Add 3 ppm FC per day using liquid chlorine to your pool each day with the pump running until you get your test kit.
