I live in the deep south - New Orleans (no freezing worries) and am toying with keeping my pool going all year. Every spring I seem to end up draining the whole thing and starting over. This year I have realized the low costs of keeping a clean pool using tfp method. Also bought a timer and...

I am going to the beach for a week YAY! but am really concerned about leaving my pool. I put 48 OZ of liquid chlorine every day and it has been perfect for 2 months now. So what do I do about the week I am gone? I leave the filter on 24/7 with no problems and I have no problem doing that...
