Going on vacation .... what to do with the pool?

[almadillo]

I live in North NJ. I plan on leaving late June / early July for a few weeks on vacation. I have a 35,000 gallon, in-ground salt pool.

I am wondering what to do about maintenance while I am away. I typically skim it everyday, check chemistry every few days, and run the robot every few days. It stays pretty clean and balanced.

Any suggestions whether I can leave it for 2 weeks or if I need to find someone to clean/check it?

Thanks!
Alan

The week before you go, note the generator output for a stable FC. When you leave turn it up. Can't tell you how much, I turn mine up 10-15% depending on the month. You may come back with a bit higher FC, but if FC demand goes up for any reason while you are gone, you are covered.

You should have someone come and check the skimmers and equipment daily if you can. Can't do daily, do what you can.

I'm thinking of putting the solar cover on during the 2 weeks .... less dirt in the pool but also not able to clean it either
