Closing pool, algaecide added and PH level real high now

[CarlD]

I suggest getting the water adjusted first, then shutting down the pump and filter and blowing out the lines.

My pool has been in balance all summer, it wasn't until I added the bottle algacide that the ph read very high. So I was wondering if that's a normal reaction of the ph because of adding algacide?
Also, is there a page of closing instructions on the forum, I looked but just didn't see.
Thanks.

There are some stickied threads at the top of the forum section about starting up and shutting down pools that may be helpful.
