So right before I go away on vacation, my SWG decides to Crud out. I took it to the pool store just to make sure and they ran diagnostics and told me it was coming back with multiple bad readings and was at the end of it's useful life (~ 5 years old) anyways. So my question is, can I just disconnect the SWG from the power supply and use tabs while I'm on vacation? If so, how many of the 3" jumbo tri-chlor tabs do I need to put in each skimmer basket? I have two skimmer baskets and my current chemistry levels are shown below. The FC is high because I had an algae bloom due to the SWG dieing, I am currently shocking. There's not enough time to get a new SWG and I'm going away for 9 days so I need something that will last. I do have a buddy coming over halfway through to check out the pool so I can get him to add more then if necessary. Please advise how I should do this because I don't want to come back from vacation to a big green mess. Also, I'm leaving around noon tomorrow so I won't have time to do a bunch of stuff, just hoping I can get by with tabs for the time being if possible. Please advise. Thanks.
