I have a 2 week vacation this summer; any thoughts on if I should cover the pool while I'm gone? If so, any chemicals to add before doing so? SWCG, the cover is solid. It's a pain, but I hate to leave the pool unattended for 2 full weeks. If I cover it, should I leave the pump running on schedule for filtration purposes? I'm assuming I can dial the chlorine generator way back or turn it off completely? I don't have anyone I trust enough to stop by and mess with the chemicals while I'm away.

If you wish to cover, still run the pump a bit each day and generate 1 ppm FC give or take.
Should only really need to clean out the skimmer basket if you leave it run normally. Raise the SWCG generation by 1 ppm FC per day if you go that way.

Thanks. It's a new plaster this season so I'm being overly particular about keeping the chemistry in order. I think I'll just cover it and let the filter run a few times a day at low speed with a little Cl generation
