Saturday, I'm leaving for a 4 day vacation to watch the total solar eclipse, and since I'm using liquid chlorine every day and definitely don't trust my neighbors (or in-laws) to remember to add chlorine, I'm gonna bring my pool up to shock level and add some trichlor tabs in a floater to make sure the FC doesn't drop too low over my long weekend. CYA is at 40, but having full sun from sun up to sun down, I've been debating bringing my CYA up to 50 anyway to minimize my daily chlorine sacrifices to the evil sun god, so figured this will work out perfectly. Even then, still feels like I'm betraying my carefully balanced TFP by poisoning her. I haven't had any experience using trichlor, so I'm not even sure how many to add to a 6700 gallon AG pool, nor how long it will take them to dissolve. Also, having a small suction side leak I'm still trying to locate, I'm gonna be leaving my pump off over the weekend, hoping the higher chlorine levels will keep algae away in spite of little circulation.
I do like the irony that the evil sun god will [mostly] disappear for a few hours Monday.
