What should i do if i plan to be gone for a week? Do you advise bringing the pool to shock level before we go, if so, how long can it go without having chlorine added? Thanks a bunch! Linda
The key to keeping a clear pool is to never let the FC drop below the minimum for your CYA according to the [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA].
How long your pool can go without chlorine being added depends on how long it takes for it to drop to the minimum for your CYA.
Raising to shock level and covering the pool can have the chlorine last longer. And/or you can float some tablets to help maintain the FC level, realizing that they will also be raising your CYA some.
