I will be attending a summer camp in a couple of weeks. Currently i test the water daily and use liquid chlorine only. So I will leave in a Sunday and return on a friday. I have someone that can make sure im topped off with water and check thw skimmer basket. But what do I do about the water while im gone? Thanks
Leaving for a week what should i do?

Take your pool up to SLAM level then throw some pucks in a floater. Using pucks occasionally for this purpose is fine.

Monitor your daily chlorine use the week before, increase it 10-20% and have someone pour in that amount daily, as alternative strategy to SLAM level and pucks. I do same thing with SWG…turn it up 5-10% when I leave. FC is higher on return, but never close to slam level…
Both methods are viable options.
