    Leaving Spa unattended for 10 days.

    250 gallons. I have an Ozone generator. Hope this helps others. NOTE: I feel the tarp was key in protecting my cover with this high chlorine level.

    Leaving Spa unattended for 10 days.

    FYI. I dropped the temp to 80. (min temp i can go) Put 3 cups of bleach in. Put a tarp over the hot tub so I didnt ruin my cover. Chlorine was 3.4 when I returned today.
