The family and I are going out of town for a week. And to top it all off....it is expected to rain all week next week :x Is there anything I can do to keep from coming home to a swamp :?
In a week you will probably add 20 ppm, more or less. If you started out low that will be OK. If you are already high, well, it's a choice based on the numbers you expect. If it is raining, at least you can expect some overflow and loss of CYA that way.
chem geek said:It's probably more realistic to assume the daily chlorine usage at 2 ppm, though this depends a lot on actual conditions and CYA level. So one week would be 14 ppm FC and 8.5 ppm CYA. So generally not a problem. For one-week trips, pucks are great to use. It's when one is gone for longer periods of time where it's more of an issue, also because the pucks generally won't last for more than a week.
