Increasing CL level during vacation?

[vetaylor1129]

Are there any downsides to increasing my CL level (ala SLAMMING) during my vacation since no one will be swimming in the pool during that time frame? CYA is at 70 (10+ yrs old outdoor in-ground plaster) so I don't want to float tabs as I'm hanging on through the hot months, with a less than desirable CL/CYA ratio, before having to drain the pool to reduce CYA to the TFP recommended level.

Thanks for your input.

How long will you be gone? Increasing your FC level to 28 is not a problem. It will drop fairly quickly this time of year, so you might get 2-3 days of insurance from it before you're back to normal. If you have a cover that could help.

Got it. Thanks for the response. Last time I SLAMed, it took about 10 days for my levels to come down to recommended balances, so it should still cover me enough to keep things sanitized.
