    Leaving for a week (no one to check pool) should I put chlorinator on?

    Leaving for a week (no one to check pool) should I put chlorinator on?

    So, would it be better to get my CL to 10 or 15 and just hope its enough to last 7 days or just run the chlorinator?

    It was installed by the pool CO that opened my pool last year. I just checked and it’s installed as an (offline chlorinator) but I don't see a check valve.

    Leaving for a week (no one to check pool) should I put chlorinator on?

    I use liquid chlorine in my pool. I also have an off line chlorinator that I don't use. The 20x40 (35K gallon) pool is covered by a blue bubble tarp at night and most of the time when not in use (we have a reel for it so it's easy). I have kept my CYA low (30) as I know I have 2 vacations...

    Pressure side leak (PVC) repair…

    Hi, I edited to put PVC. Anyways, while attempting to unscrew the union, I noticed that is has a big crack and that’s most likely the culprit. There was no o-ring inside. Looks like this will be a bigger job than expected. I put some tape on the thread and screwed it back on as I leave...

    Pressure side leak (PVC) repair…

    Hi, here is a wider shot. I noticed that the leak is as in the video when I first start the system up, after a while, the leak is less (more like a drop or two every few seconds)
