Achieving the silky, smooth feel in a salt pool?

[Charlie227]

I keep my SWG pool mostly within TFP guidelines. There are days the water feels great and other days I feel like I need a shower right after I get out. Why is that? All my logs are in my sig file below if you would like to take a look. Today I felt like I needed that shower.

The water is crystal clear and has that nice glassy look on the surface. Fill water is rain water during this time of year. A couple of inches per week is about normal rainfall this time of year.

Any thoughts on maintaining the perfect feel?

Mine always feels silky smooth ----

pH is the one thing that can change that. Too high, and the water gets dull and not very silky.

I’ll go ahead keep the ph a little lower. Maybe 7.5.

Do you think the FC should be a little lower? I’m bringing it down slowly.

Looking at the Poolmath data it looks good. Your CSI runs higher than I like to keep mine to keep scale out of my SWCG. Assume you do not have issues with that.

I haven’t had any scale issues with my SWCG. Looked clean a few weeks ago when I opened it up. I pull it every month for a look.
