my water was crystal clear with bad readungs.He also said swimming in high PH levels will not hurt and said bring the chlorine level up to 10.Is this too much?It just dont seem right.What do any of you people suggest.It is a 24 by 4ft 4inches and holds 12,000 gallons of water.

The pool man said only readings of 12-15 will hurt humans and said bring it to 10 so when we get in it will automaticaly drop down to 5.
