Hello all, we live in Tucson Arizona where almost every home has a pool. I love my pool however now that we are retired we really would like to escape the heat and travel in the summer(1-3 months at time). We do not have family close by and our friends are not keen on checking the pool esp for long periods of time. We cannot drain the pool in the summer. How can I make it as maintenance free as possible. Summer brings lots of debris from the community tree's and also monsoon rains.
1. Invest in a salt water generator- that would eliminate daily chlorine needs... Can it go for months without checking?
2. Invest in a pool cover to keep debris out of the pool. Will the cover remain on surface or sink if covered with debris?
3. Turn off the skimmer..
4. Leave pump running and hope nothing goes wrong.. But not sure what to do about other chemical needs...
forget 1-4 above and just...
5. Hire a pool company. If I did have a SWG they would only need to add the other chemicals. Or just use the pucks and realizing that
at the end of the summer we will likely have to partially drain pool....
Suggestions/Comments? Thanks in advance...
