    That's what I did last year when I was gone a week: I raised the chlorine to FC=20 ppm, then put the solar cover on and folded one small section over to expose water, maybe 4 sq ft. My pump is on a timer to run 6 hours at night. When I came back I still had 8 ppm chlorine and a clean pool.

    The worse thing that can happen is that you have a little algae but if that is the case, we can help you clean it up.
