Ok. Great Good suggestion about raising the FC to shock level before departure, I did not think of that.First year for maintaining the pool, hopefully next year will be better So, will remove the pucks and do the tests as you suggest Thanks alot callyann

Thanks Jason preparation, thorough clean up, chemical balance, raise water level. i wanted to get a cleaning service once but I was voted down. lesson learned. Anyway. Ch is 280. PH all summer was between 7.2 and 7.5 graduations. Now is 7.3 As colour is closer to 7.2. One more question -...
