Pool chemical test results after removal and replacement of 10960 gallons of water
PH 8.2
FC 1.5

So if I interpret pool math correctly
add
108 oz of 10% bleach
75 oz of muriatic acid
175 oz of calcium chloride
any special kind of calcium chloride to use

I wouldn't be concerned about the CH level. I wish I could get mine that low. Have you considered get the SWG working or replacing it? Having had pools both with and without salt water chlorine generators, I will never again have a pool without one.
SWG seem like a great idea but the number of threads I see with SWG issues and need for replacement every few years, makes me wonder should I just stick with bleach and watch the chemicals. Does the calcium chloride amount add seem correct? Almost 11 lbs seem like a lot and I do not want to go overboard.

Salt cells are a consumable item. It is expected that it needs replacement after a few years. With a SWG that's how you are paying for your chlorine. A new cell for my system cost about $400 and lasts 6 years or so, so my chlorine cost is $400/6=$66.67 per year. No jugs to haul, just turn a dial to adjust my chlorine level. Once my water is balanced, the only thing I ever add is a little acid once a week or so to balance pH.
Agreed SWG is a consumable and as a pool owner, there are expenses. Yes, the pro-rated cost is good for the benefit. The issue I have as a novice is keeping the SWG running without multiple problems. Maybe since I have taken over the pool service, I will pay enough attention to the details to ensure the equipment and chemicals are maintained, my prior pool maintenance company did not take this care. So I am a little skeptical of the SWG.

To lower the PH, I need to add muriatic acid (corrected) from what I understand with pool math.
The SWG is next to repair.

I have been adding chlorine via bleach and MA for the values given the chemical readings of the pool applied to pool math. The water is clear.
Congrats on lowering the CYA!!!
Have a read on the link below. Your CC indicates that you need to slaM. It should go quickly with a new fill.
