A problem salt-system pool owners encounter is that the pH rises over time. If the pH is over about 8.3, then your chlorine is rendered partially ineffective, meaning you can have a high free-chlorine reading, but it is restricted. Test the pH and add muriatic acid to maintain your pH is between 7.4 and 7.6.
