On your mark, Get set, Go! part 2

my bad should be 24'x52" sounds like 13000 or 13595 gal depending on where you look

The PH I have been told is 9.1 to 9.2 out of the tap and remains consistent. Per local water company. So I will need to lower. Looks like several choices are available for this. I was under the impression that it is hard to maintain the Chlorine levels until the PH is where it should be. Did I misread that?

No, but it's not particularly true, or relevant.

You need to both maintain chlorine levels AND lower your pH. 1 gallon of 6% bleach will add about 6 ppm of chlorine to your pool. If you add that gallon each EVENING, your pool will stay in pretty good shape, while you take care of other things.

Read the muriatic acid page linked in my signature. Then get a gallon or two from Lowes, etc, and start lowering your pH. I'd recommend an 'estimated' pint of acid poured directly from the bottle into the pool. Do NOT try to measure it. Wait 4 hours, before retesting and dosing if necessary.

Get some dichlor, which will raise both chlorine AND stabilizer:

24 lbs PoolBrand bagged shock @ Sams Club
Kem-Tek Dichlor 22 lbs @ Amazon
