I'm getting the terminology confused I guess. By BBB vs SWCG I meant no SWCG vs having a SWCG. And for the no SWCG pool I meant using BBB vs pool store chlorine, but I suppose that distinction may not matter.

So with the above clarifications, is there still a time savings? Or are you spending the same amount of time monitoring and adjusting no matter what? With any method can you take a week off? What is the most forgiving in that situation? What do you guys do when you go on vacation?
