How do you know that it is too high? If you are using a home test kit it will show the total chlorine, which includes free chlorine and combined chlorine. Only free chlorine can sanitize the pool. Combined chlorine is broken apart by "shocking" the pool with 1L liquid chlorine per 10000L of water in the pool. (For most pools 10L is fine if you're unsure of the pool volume.) Chlorine will disipate on its own anyways. Sidenote: Are you using a lot of chlorine pucks? They contain stabilizer, which is used to keep the chlorine from burning off in the sun too quickly. If it is overused the chlorine will burn off too slowly.
Are you getting readings above 10.0 ppm of chlorine? What is too high? Do you smell the chlorine? Then there's not enough chlorine. Simple as that.

Test the water to make sure that it is in fact too high ( 8.0 or above). You will need muriatic acid to reduce the levels to the desired readings of 7.4 to 7.8 ppm. Frequent testing will tell you that you are getting to the right levels.
Add more chlorine! This is normal pool maintenance since chlorine gets consumed. If the chlorine is low you need to add more.
I have 16x36 inground pool Temp 85-87 I put 1/2 gallon at night but it doesn’t show in the morning what amount should I use?
You may need to go to a much lower setting or turn it off for a brief period.
You'll need about 240 pounds to start, to get chlorine level to correct amount
Shocking should be done in order to kill the chloramines. It depends on your chlorine level. For residential pools it should be 1.5-2.5ppm. For commercial, chlorine should be 3.5-4.5ppm. If you have just shocked, don't go in the water. The chlorine is probably 10-12ppm and will cause itching and burning. Wait until the level drops to a safe level, as stated above.
To increase the chlorine level in your pool, you can add chlorine tablets, granules, or liquid chlorine according to the manufacturer's instructions. It's important to regularly test the water to ensure the chlorine level stays within the recommended range for safe swimming. Avoid adding too much chlorine, as this can lead to irritation and other issues.
Use a test strip or test kit. They will tell you your chlorine level. You want it between a 1 and a 3.
There is no direct conversion between liquid chlorine and chlorine tablets because they come in different forms and concentrations. It's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how much liquid chlorine is needed to achieve the same sanitation level as a 3-inch chlorine tablet in your specific pool or spa.
Chlorine level should stay between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million (ppm) to maintain a healthy pool.
This will depend on the size of the holder.
The amount of chlorine needed for a pool can vary based on its size, the current chlorine level, and environmental factors. It's best to use a pool water test kit to determine the chlorine levels and then follow the manufacturer's instructions on how much chlorine to add to achieve the appropriate levels for safe swimming.
Chlorine level in an 18' above ground pool should be between 2 and 4.
first you must test for ph with a ph testing kit, then if the water is a good ph level, add 2L chlorine for every 100L, then wait for 2 days, then get in the pool and it should be fine! ;) my number's: 0473897234
The amount of chlorine to add to a pool depends on the current chlorine level and desired level. As a general guideline, for a 11000-gallon pool, you may need to add between 1 and 3 cups of liquid chlorine or about 6-12 chlorine tablets to maintain proper levels. It's best to use a pool water testing kit to accurately determine the right amount of chlorine needed.
