I noticed a tiny bit of algae on one pool wall the other day and knew I was going out of town this weekend, so I ignored it. Bad idea. This morning, it's still not tons, but it's on all 4 walls and a tiny bit on the bottom, so I shocked this morning and have the pump set to run all weekend while I'm away.
I have someone who can add chlorine, but not test the chemicals this weekend. Am I better off:
1) Having her add one gallon of chlorine tonight (Friday) and tomorrow morning (Saturday) and then I'll check when I'm back on Sunday afternoon, OR
2) Setting my salt cell to 100% and hopefully keeping the levels high enough to resume the SLAM Sunday afternoon without too much more algae?
If I go with option 1, my only concern is that the levels would get overly high.
