Don't do anything. Chlorine goes away on its own, which is why you must monitor it and keep it at the correct level. If you have too much, wait a few days. If it is hotter than normal out, the chlorine will go away faster than normal.

Frequently, the test for chlorine is not a test for chlorine but a test for acid. In the United States, the closer you are to a power plant that burns coal, the closer you are to a source of acid rain. When it rains, this will add acid to your pool. If you are raising fish in your pool, it can kill the fish. You can add baking soda or an approved weak alkaline from a pool supply store until it neutralizes the acid and makes it slightly alkaline.

First if you haven't already turn down the production level on the salt system then turn it completely off. Unless the chlorine level is SUPER high time will take care of it.
