Salt water pool. I test the PH regularly and almost always need to add acid. I test the chlorine periodically and it is almost always in a good range. I try to test the other stuff about once a month. (CYA, Total Alkalinity, calcium hardness)

This is me, I dont understand the demand for acid and having to add so frequently, but pool is crystal clear and everything stays in align with just some CYA every few months.

The salt cell breaks table salt (NaCl) into free chlorine and sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide has a very high PH so you always have to add acid to neutralize it.
