This pool is getting the best of me. I greatly appreciate the dialog to walk me through this. Just did a CL test with drop test and instant dark orange. Then it seperated and I have orange "floaties" in the vial--mostly sitting on the bottom of the tube. PH is off the color chart DARK PURPLE--acid demand said add 2 Gallons of acid--I'm not doing that. Did add a quart this morning.

Now the really scary stuff. Did a distilled h2o test and my cl is 60! It took 1:20 ratio to get it to yellow to 3.0. Just took the pucks out of skimmers (1 in each of the 2 skimmers) and turned off the chlorinator. Luckily it's very hot and sunny today in MN. It would seem to me that my biggest problem is getting the PH down. What do I do? HELP
