Saltwater pools offer gentle, low-chlorine systems ideal for Stockton’s climate, yet they require dedicated care. Monitor salt cell performance by checking cell output and cleaning plates quarterly in a mild acid solution to remove calcium scale. Test salt levels monthly—optimal ranges of 2,700–3,400 ppm ensure efficient chlorine generation. Maintain pH at 7.4–7.6 and total alkalinity at 80–120 ppm, since salt systems can drift faster than traditional pools. Run your pump eight to ten hours daily to circulate water through the electrolytic... read full review »
