Am I doing this right?

I check FC at night and put enough LC in to reach the Max target FC level, which for me is 9. When I check it at night it is about a 5-6 range, which is near the min target levels. Sometimes if there's a lot going on in the pool that day, FC will be lower that night.. I'm adding somewhere between 1-2 quarts/night so really going through it.

I'm going on vacation in June for almost 2 weeks so I plan to use pucks during that time and have a pool service make a few visits. I don't think I can afford to pay someone to come test/add LC every night. So I may just need to deal with a higher CYA after the vacation.

Sound like the right course of action?

So you are losing about 5ppm per day… to replenish 5ppm per day during 14 days with Trichlor alone you are going to need 71oz of Thrichlor for 70ppm what will increase your CYA by 42… can you have a friend, family member or neighbor dosing some LC every couple evenings?
