Hey all,
We go away for two weeks at the end of August, come home Labor Day weekend. We always struggle with what to do with the pool. Hubby worries that if we leave the filter running something catastrophic will happen and the filter will burn out. Since it's so close to the end of the summer we wonder if we should just shut it all down before we go but we rarely have the time to do that with all the vacation packing and prep. And there's always Labor Day weekend swimming and maybe perhaps a bit in early September, we homeschool so can use our pool during the days.
So, what do you all do when you go away? How do you manage two weeks without everything going haywire? We don't really have anyone we can ask to maintain for us...it's enough to get someone to feed the chickens and gather their eggs!
Thanks,
JB
