Adjusting the chlorine content will almost certainly affect the pH, so it would be simpler to get the chlorine level correct first and then titrate to the proper pH.
Pure water has a pH=7.High pH correspond to high OH- concentration.
The buffer maintain the pH constant.

a PH in literary science
Since most types of chlorine are very high in PH it may effect the over all PH of the water if it is not buffered.
Do you have a chlorine generator? No.
Depends on the type of chlorine you are using as each type of chlorine product has it's own pH level. i.e Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) has a natural pH of about 14. Trichlo products have a pH of about 3 Dichlor products have a pH of about 6.8 Gas Chlorine has a pH of <1 So based on the above lets say you are using liquid chlorine in a concrete pool, the pH will tend to be high (alkaline) due to the high pH of the chlorine product coupled with the fact the pool is concrete.
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
Add sodium bicarb to raise pH. Chlorine will go down by itself or add sodium thiosulfate
The pH of chlorine is 12.5
Chlorine is made to be pH neutral (7.0) for pools. If you are looking for a base (due to high pH) try "Soda Ash" or a product that claims pH down, results.
I can't answer the initial question if chlorine generators give off high chlorine false readings. I have an inline chlorine dispenser and it seems to work just fine for me. But the second part of the question asking if high chlorine will give false readings for pH and TA. I have read that somewhere and I am currently researching to validate that finding.
it decreases
Keep your PH at 7.0-7.4 and use adequate chlorine. PH is very important, because if it gets too high, the chlorine will not work. To lower PH, you will need to get Muriatic acid at your hardware store. Use it with caution.
Lots o filtering.
Low PH definitely causes rashes. This is because the water turns slightly acidic. As for chlorine, only high chlorine will cause a rash. If there is too little chlorine the water will not be as clean as it should be, but it won't cause a rash.
