I test every other day and add bleach and MA as necessary. Not very good at doing it at the same time of day, however. I will note on my tests what time of day it was, so like today FC was 2 instead of 3, but I tested at 6 PM not morning. Next time I will be careful about time of day to see if anything is up in the pool. If FC is below my min and it appears to be a trend, happens twice in a row, not due to late test time, then I will check the whole pool to see what is up. Full water tests, filter pressure, circulation time, etc.
While we were on vacation, I had the auto-chlorinator set rather high at 4.5 and someone came by to check skimmers, water level, refill pucks, and test twice a week, adding a jug of bleach if the FC was below 3. Family members don't get paid but they get to swim instead. If I didn't have family, I'd find a smart kid and train him well and pay him handsomely. My son would do that for a neighbor and got $10 per visit about 6 years ago which was a fortune to him then, so he did it well. Some neighborhoods will have a list of kids that pet sit or baby sit, those are the kids to look to for this, if they have their own pools as well.
At the moment, since I got back from vacation and CYA was still low, in spite of using pucks for 2 weeks, I do have pucks in the auto-chlorinator. It is on a very low setting so they have been in there for 3 weeks and 7 pucks still not entirely gone yet. It appears to me that they dissolve very slowly when I am keeping FC up with bleach, or maybe that is my imagination. But even when no pucks are being used, I test every other day and add bleach then.
