Vacation Floater

[lynzizzle]

We’re going on vacation for a week … usually my husband stays home but this year he’s going with us (yay!)

Estimated 30k gal free form in-ground

How do I know how many tablets to float while we’re gone? Multiple floaters?

Help!

Your Poolmath logs are not showing any test data, so cannot use that for guidance.

I will assume you normally use liquid chlorine for maintenance and your CYA is in the reasonable 30 - 50 ppm range.

One puck will add 1.8 ppm FC and 1.1 ppm CYA to your pool.
If you raise your FC to SLAM level before you leave, and add 5 pucks to a floater (most will hold that many), float that. Be sure the floater is tied off so it is near a return. That allows it to have the water flow to better dissolve the pucks.
