Free Chlorine Low In Salt Water Pool. This is a situation that occurs both in salt water and chlorine models. 80 ppm (ideal) calcium hardness:
After intial shocking using the chlorinator, i ran the cya at about 30ppm. This is a situation that occurs both in salt water and chlorine models. Now pool store says salt is high.
This is supposed to be a saltwater pool.
Turn up chlorinator % to raise chlorine level, run pump longer during the day or add shock. The desired salinity level in a saltwater pool is between 2,500 and 3,500 ppm. I run the filter 10 hrs per day, add acid every couple of weeks, keep the salt up to 3200 and have the aquarite set on 95% but the free chlorine is often low. The first is to reduce the output of the pool's chlorine generator.
