Going away for 3 weeks

[dansdad]

Just wondering what to do if Im leaving my pool for 3 weeks. I only use chlorine and no one to look after it. My friends will be gone. How do all of you handle it since no feeder is used and no swg

Hey Watermom. UH 4 gallons of muriatic for my pool? I can see the chlorine 3 gallons and polyquat but what does 4 gallons of muriatic do? I haven't used that much in 5 years

I think the 4 gallons of MA are to counteract the pH rise caused when you add 14 boxes of borax to bring your borates up to the desired 60ppm. Is your trip business or pleasure, if you don't mind me asking?
