Hi and thanks for the help!
Our pool was just built here in Austin, Texas. They still are curing the plaster, which went in a week ago on Thursday April 18. Up until now, they’ve had a pool guy come every other day to test levels and add chemicals. I’ve only seen him directly add muriatic acid and chlorine tabs. But he may have added some other things too.
We are headed out of town on Wednesday at lunch and won’t return until Monday late evening, five days later. If I go out and buy liquid chlorine, baking soda, cya, calcium clorate, and a high quality test kit, can I coast for five days if my levels are good before I leave? I know pool school says to test daily. Should I hire a pool service ala carte for the middle of that vacation?
Pool volume is 6600 gallons, chlorine pool. Half shaded by a live oak tree that is not currently dropping leaves. Outter dimensions approximately 13x23.
