Re: New guy LOST !!!!
Just inserting my personal experience here. If you're gone up to 4 days at a time and not using the pool, are you covering it at all while you're gone? I keep my pool covered with a solar cover and I only add bleach about once a week when it's not used, sometimes not even that often depending on my readings (I try not to let my level get less than 5 due to my CYA level). Twice a week when we've been swimming it it. If there's not bather load, theoretically the chlorine demand shouldn't be as high.
As for how much chemical to put in...have you downloaded the BleachCalc? It's a huge life saver. You enter the volume of your pool & it can calculate the rest for you!
