What should you do if you recently installed a salt generator on a 35000-gallon inground pool but cannot get free chlorine levels to where they need to be and you also have a white film on top?

The film is from the salt dust and will eventually disapate. What readings are you getting on the salt system. You need to achieve about 3200 I believe. How long is the system running? Needs more run time. Start with 24/7 hrs. until the levels start to rise then cut back gradually. Have you added the required amount of salt? Be careful tho because the formula is not all that accurate.

Is bromine effective?
Bromine is very effective. We have used it in our inground pool
since we installed the pool in 1982. The bromine is place in a

gentler on bathing suits and does not give off a real strong smell
like chlorine.
