Use some baking soda to raise TA. You can use some polyquat if you want. Some do. (I don't in my pool but CarlD does.) It certainly won't hurt anything if you decide to.

Just remember that Polyquat lowers FC especially if you add a large amount, like a quart.

Re: AG Pool Closing with High CYA
Thanks Carl. So since I do not have an algae problem and since I plan to use a winter cover, should I bring chlorine to maintenance, just above maintenance, or shock levels? I assume from both your and Watermom's sticky posts on pool closing that it needs to be closer to maintenance level when the cover goes on so as not to damage the cover?

Whoops. Think your questions got missed. Did you close yet?

Re: AG Pool Closing with High CYA
No. I am still waiting. I just want to know whether i need to chlorinate to shock level to close, even if I do not have an algae problem. Thanks!
