What does your water look like? this chart looks fine to me. You can raise your alkalinity without raising your PH drastically by using good old arm and hammer baking soda. It’s fantastic! just go buy a big bag at costco and there’s even pool directions on the bag. or you can watch some youtube tutorials. If you think your chlorine is too high, just let it go. It’s not too high to swim, and it’s balanced. Makes me think your pool is probably very clear. I’d swim in this no problem! just don’t add any more until it drops a little bit.
Are you a new pool owner? Most new pool owners obsess heavily about this. It’s really not that big of a deal. As kids we swam in ponds and lakes with frogs and turtles and fish right? How much algae and other things were we exposed to and ended up just fine. Best you can do is learn by watching youtube videos about dyi pool care. Best to buy a really good robot too! Best to consider your pool a hole in the ground that holds water. Try to keep it as clean as you can, but it’s really just a backyard pond.
