Not an authority but I just lowered my pH. I would add a pint of acid to start. Wait 24 hrs and test again. As you probably know this will lower pH and alkalinity. Then use baking soda to raise alkalinity.

sounds ok i have granular form from when i had baq... it says about 32 oz to add if your ph is 7.8-8.0 is this to get it to normal i think??

Your more immediate problem is the Cl at 0...it won't be long before you have a green pool. Get the Chlorine up, then lower your pH.
