I will be going out of town for 3 days. I will be leaving early Friday morning and returning Sunday night. I do not have anyone to maintain my pool. So my question is what do I need to do to make sure stuff does not get out of hand? I know it is only a few days but you never know. My assumption is to lower the pH to around 7-7.2 as it will rise a little, and then put in enough bleach to bring it to shock level?
Other vacation is I will be gone for a week from June 30th-July 7th. Again I will not have anyone to maintain the pool. I am guessing bring it up to shock level and drop the pH to around 7-7.2. The temps will be more extreme at this time and I am sure FC will get eaten up. I am worried about this one as I will be gone much longer. I am worried about running my pump the whole time I am gone, as during christmas it got all clogged up. I may be able to have someone check the skimmber basket every few days to empty it. I do not want them to have to mess with testing or anything though.
Thanks for your time.
