Going on vacation. My cya is 80 upon opening and I assume this is due to me being gone a lot last season and using the tabs way too much. I don’t want to use the tabs this year and make it worse. What’s ur suggestion to do before leaving? Pool is clear and all numbers r good. I assume shock. Should I use polyquat 60 also?

Can't do elevated FC and poly. You'll have to pick one or the other. I would guess taking the FC up to slam level might be best. How long you going to be away?

I should've asked if you had a liner as well.
That would make a difference. In any case, I would take the pool up to SLAM level. That should buy you 3, 4, maybe 5 days until the FC gets close to regular level. I don't suppose you have someone who could add a little chlorine at some point? Neighbor or friend perhaps? If not, then I would put a couple tabs in a floater. 2-3 tabs won't have a huge impact on your CYA, and may not dissolve fully anyway.I do have a vinyl liner. I have an inline clorinator. Just worried it would raise the cya higher is why I am reluctant to use it. I may be able to get someone to add.
