How much chlorine to add for the weekend?

[Jeffacdc85]

I am heading out for the weekend and I'm not sure how much chlorine I need to add to the pool to compensate for the two days I'm gone. And do I need to cover my pool or leave it uncovered? My levels are as follows

FC 4
PH 7.5
CYA 40

I'd raise it to shock value for my CYA level and cover it.

Yep, what woody said ^^^^

anything else you can do if you do not own a cover?

You can google 'vacation', bottom left, and get lots of info.

For a weekend, we just bring to shock level on Fri nite, filter for an hour or so, shut it down and leave. No cover. No problem for us.
