Thanks for the tips AnnaK and Watermom! I'm going to try not to worry about the pool while I'm gone. I guess if it does get green it's not the end of the world. I think I will ask the neighbor to dump the skimmer basket out just to be safe. My ph drifts upward on it's own, so good to go with trichlor.

I feel a little better now but still would feel A LOT better if ya'll were my neighbors
