    Why not shock before he leaves and throw a puck dispenser in?

    He could except that his CYA is already at 45 and he probably doesn't want it to go higher.

    True Blue -- I'd take the pH up to about 7.7 or 7.8 before you leave. That gives you a little wiggle room in case it drops some while you are gone.

    I'll do that, Watermom.

    I might add that, again, "he" is "she" in this case.
