I have a ~24,000 gallon above ground vinyl pool, 33' round, and use 12.5% bleach for routine care. Large sand filter. Pump/filter on for 1.5 hours mid-day, and 4.5 hrs at night. I use the TF100 kit, daily, weekly tests. Going on my 2nd year now using Pool Math App and TFP guidance and have had a crystal clear awesome pool experience overall! Only issue I had was earlier this season started to develop a cloudiness problem, but thru research following the SLAM process, and we are back in business! For the first time since owning the pool I will be gone for 1.5 weeks and am stressed about how to maintain it so I return to a nice clear pool. I plan to put my solar cover on and vacuum/brush well before leaving. I need to know what is the right FC level to achieve.
pH stays around 7.5-7.6 consistently even after some rain
CYA is at 45. TA is 90.
I maintain FC at 4-8, as needed checking daily
I only use liquid chlorine, so do I raise FC To near the SLAM level then leave it? That is typically 2-3 gallons (crude measurement). Or do I ask someone to come by and chance that they will test it correct and dose, or just have them add another gallon toward the later part of the week. I assume with the solar cover the FC will come down slowly. When I did the SLAM process, it came down over the course of 3-4 days back in range with no cover on. Pool is in full sun. Thank you for tips/guidance!
