I am preparing for my first vacation since I have become a pool owner.
I have a petsitter who will be coming to my house on a daily basis. She's a reliable person who will carry out any instructions I leave her. I anticipate that the pool will be used minimally (if at all) while I'm gone (I've told the petsitter than she can use it but don't know if she will).
Here are my current numbers, based on daily testing over the past 2 weeks:
FC: 6 - 10 (maintained with SWCG, no additional chlorine added)
CC: 0
pH: 7.4 - 8.0 (tends to drift up which I am managing by adding muriatic acid as needed)
TA: 100 (working on getting this down by using muriatic acid to manage pH)
CH: 260
CYA: 70
Has anyone prepared instructions for while they are away that they would be willing to share with me? Any other pointers?
