NOT recommended to do this. Pucks are very acidic and will make the water really nasty sitting in your skimmer if the pump is off. Then you suck it through all your equipment.I usually throw 2-3 pucks in my skimmer basket and set the timer on my pool so my pump runs for 3 hours every 12 hours.
I have gone away for up to a week with no ill effects by bringing it to shock level, putting the solar cover on and shutting the pump down. When I get home I raise the Chlorine level again to be sure nothing is starting to grow and run the pump for 24 hours.
