could make it easy and use something like this. I know it's not designed for bleach but if I only use it for vacations... (again cost is at issue at this point but it's fun to dream )

I'm starting to like this idea, overshoot cl a little and I could stretch this out to a week in-between reservoir refills, all for $100 + some PVC... maybe with a check valve that is filled with water between the controller and the Cl resivoir... could even hook it up to a hose and go the flow direction that is intended, though that creates more problems...

Over my pay grade too, I have only used Tri-chlor pucks. If it were me, assuming that my levels were right on everything else, I would put 2 pucks in a floater and deal with it when I got back.
Is it TFP approved? nope
So:
Measure d/p and backwash on High setting
Backwash 2 min then stop, then 2 min more, then rinse for 2 min, then return to filter (stopping pump in-between)
Watch sightglass (mine has a mini mason jar looking thing) and adjust as I see fit
I have a feeling I will time this to coincide with post rain times unless it really needs it (my well doesn't produce very much water [maybe 1-1.5 hr run time till dry {had to fill pool from neighbors county water}])
