We're going on vacation tomorrow and will be gone for a week. The pool is finally is nice shape!! I did bring my 3 year old in the pool the other night. There is still some dead algae (and probably dirt?) on the bottom of the pool. I vacuumed to waste the other day and we've been trying to fill the pool gradually since. I only just a few minutes ago had enough water in the pool to turn the filter back on. Water is very clear though.
I'm wondering what I should do to the pool before we leave. Here's my current levels.
FC 2.0
CC 0
TC 2.0
pH 7.2
T/A 90
CH 180
CYA 30
I obviously need more chlorine, regardless of going on vacation. What I'm not clear on is what FC level I should try to hit, since we'll be gone for a while and won't be able to check it. If it makes a difference, it has been hot here, temps in the 90s, expected to break and be in the 80s most of the time we are gone. I have 4 182 oz bottles of bleach available. 1 bottle will only get me to 8.5 FC, which I'm thinking isn't high enough. Think 2 bottles would be good? That should get me to 15...
