Chlorine works better as a sanitizer when the pool pH is low, but acidic water creates a number of other problems.
Chlorine sanitizes well in acidic water, but the water itself is corrosive. Chlorine levels and pH level are the two most important chemical balances to maintain in a swimming pool, and pH affects chlorine levels, especially when it's too high. When the pH level is too low, chlorine actually sanitizes more efficiently, but the pool water becomes corrosive.

Water softeners work by adding salt to your hard water. The process creates soft water which dissolves soap more easily than hard water. If your water softener runs out of salt you will have to add more and restart the machine.
