PH over 8

TA 100-120

Salt level about 3k

So obviously chlorine is low and PH is high. I need to add acid and up the chlorination, along with shocking. Any advice on what I can do to have things up and running tomorrow? Picture reported as too large, so I see an iCloud link

 
Chlorine is the main thing. What is your CYA level? How are you testing the water?
I didn’t check CYA today, but it was fine a few weeks ago with no significant water change. Testing with a Taylor kit. I also have my local store test about every 3-4 weeks.

Regarding chlorine, I’ve bumped the SWG output up, and plan to double shock tonight. Is the pool ok to swim in tomorrow after a double shock if we get it clean?

Follow the SLAM Process. Have no idea what 'double shock' means.
It is safe to swim if the FC is between minimum and SLAM level based on the CYA and you can see the bottom of the deep end of the pool. pH in the 7's.
