I am going to switch this year to the three B's.

When I took my cover off this year, I put a lb of shock and 4 tablets in the floaty dispenser.

When I took my water to the pool store (I know big mistake) they said the chlorine levels are super high and that not to do nothing for a week to hope it comes down or I might have to drain the pool. They advised to fill the pool to the top of the skimmer.

They couldn't give me any readings because they said the super high chlorine is bleaching all the other stuff out.

When I use a test strip it goes straight to a bright purple vs water from inside my house is near white with a slight yellow.

Is there anything I can do to lower my chlorine levels?
