Hi Folks, I clean my skimmer basket twice daily because my pool is under two trees and has lots of leaves. If I am leaving town for a few days should I turn the pump off? I am worried about damaging the pump if the basket is clogged. Thanks.
Leaving town, should I turn pump off? (Pool under tree)

Can you turn off the skimmer line and just go off your main drains?

Raise fc to slam level for your cya
FC/CYA Levels with liquid chlorine before heading out.
How do you chlorinate your pool?
How long do you run your pump? Maybe a reduced schedule would suffice?

If this will become a regular event, you could invest in skimmer guards.
