Not enough information to even begin.

Too high you say?
Is this too high just after you filled it up? Or did you add a bunch of stuff and then it went high? Or did it get this way over time, say a month or couple or?

What is your actual alkalinity ppm reading?

eat your pump seals (and everything else) if it continues long term.

Drain and refill the spa is always correct Rx when water gets out of control like this.
