    When you say shut off the skimmer, do you mean shut off the pump? How long are you going to be gone? The worst thing that could happen is you'll have some algae but that can easily be cleaned up with a few days of shocking.

    No. I just meant that I will reroute suction to Main Drain ONLY so that water evaporation will not be an issue while I am away as skimmer will be off.
