Vacation during startup of new pool?

[JamieP]

Depending on the builder we go with, our build might be able to start relatively quickly, and even be plastered by early August. We have a week trip planned from Sept. 5th-12th and I'm concerned that might be too early in the startup process for the pool to be left unattended for a week. I've read keeping the PH in check is critical, but I don't know how you do that if you're not around to check it. Will the PH have settled down after almost a month? Is this enough of a concern to wait until after our trip to have the pool installed?

Will your builder service it for 30-90 days on start up? Some do and my builder wrote it in that way. Can always hire a pool company to handle for a bit! Enjoy your trip!

I'm not sure since we haven't got that detailed of a quote yet, but that's definitely something to look into. I don't know if I'd trust a pool service, but you'd think the pool builder would have a vested interest in keeping the chemicals right to protect the interior surface. I'll be sure to ask. Thanks for the tip!
