Going on vacation for a week. Need advice.

[Belle11296]

First, let me say that this forum has helped me tremendously this year. We bought the FAS-DPD kit and it is amazing! Will probably never go back to the pool store again.

We are leaving on vacation for a week. Here are my current numbers:
13,000 gallon above ground pool
FC=4.5
CC=1
Ph=7,4
TA=220
CYA=80

Currently, my pool is crystal clear and I would like to keep it that way. What do all do when you go on vacation? Thanks for any help you can give.

Welcome to TFP!

By far the best thing to do is to get a pool sitter. But if that is impractical, the next best thing to bring to shock level and cover with a solar cover. If neither of those work, raise to high shock level and add a trichlor tablet floater, and hope you are lucky.

Welcome to the forum

You can google "vacation", bottom left of each page, and get more ideas.

Your test shows 1 CC which indicates that you need to follow the Shock Process in Pool School.
