Does chlorine neutralizer affect pH?
Add your neutralizer gradually. You should also look at your pH levels to see if you need to add in pH, as chlorine reduces the amount of pH in water. Diluting your pool water is another option, but it takes time. Refilling your pool can also throw off your pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and other chemical levels.
How does chlorine affect pH?

If there are no leaks and the calcium hardness level is acceptable, test your water for the BAQUACIL® Swimming Pool Sanitizer and Algistat. If it is too high (above 50 ppm) or if your water has an almond-like taste (which would indicate too much BAQUACIL® Algicide), you’ll need to reduce those levels.
