A good Free Chlorine reading should be around 1.5ppm to 3.0ppm. If the pool is used frequently by multiple bathers, the higher end of this range is recommended. There are many factors that can influence the Free Chlorine reading but this is a good place to start and you can adjust as needed for your particular pool.

Check the reading when the filter is clean, it should be around 10-20 PSI depending on the horsepower of your pump. Higher is not always better because it takes more energy. As the filter get's clogged the reading may go up to 15 or 30 PSI, at which point you will have to backwash. Hatawa

The same as a non-salt system pool. Disregard answer above.
