Hey everyone. I just completed my DIY pool build in Goodyear, Arizona and have had water in it for about a month. I'm getting up to speed on TFP water chemistry and dialing my water in using liquid chlorine -- so far no problems (except having to start with a really high alkalinity). My big problem now is, in about a month, I'm leaving my pool for six months (we're snowbirds as they say) and need to solve my pool maintenance/water chemistry while I'm gone. I'm having a really hard time finding a pool service company that doesn't use chlorine tabs as their standard practice, introducing the problem of growing my CYA while I'm gone. Given the nature of the pool service world, I'm not sure finding a pool service company that operates with the TFP paradigm is even remotely possible. My CYA is currently low now (under 30) and I'm trying to bring it up to the minimum with powdered additive. My problem is trying to find a pool service company that won't undo all my work to try to get the water in balance. Plus, I'm not sure if a once a week service using liquid chlorine would even work in the upcoming super hot Arizona summer (even if I could find a company that would do it -- although the pool would certainly be getting less organic matter introduced because no one will be using it or the spa). I'm also concerned that copper might get introduced via the tabs with a less-than-enlightened (or diligent) pool service. How to solve this? Should I just let a service company use tabs for 6 months then just drain off/replenish water in the fall when I"m back and try to get my water back in balance -- only to repeat this fix/destroy/fix cycle endlessly over the coming years? It almost seems like the TFP method is not going to be compatible with our snowbird lifestyle (which would be very dissappointing). I'm feeling pretty distressed over this and could sure use some wisdom from you all for possible paths to a solution (no pun intended!).
