I have my winter cover on waiting for the water to get below 60 to winterize everything. Ph is 7.2 and chlorine is around 12ppm (didn’t do a recent drop test but that’s close). Do I need to lower the chlorine level and bump up the ph or is that solid?
 
A low pH can be harmful to liners over time (brittle). Normally the pH will rise a bit as the water gets colder, but if you think the pH may fall further on its own before you close, it may be worth increasing just a little to about 7.5-7.6.
