what to do while we're away on vacation?

[bellini]

We are just starting to set up a 12' intex pool. We'll have it up for about a month and then will be on vacation for 2 weeks. I'm really hoping we'll have another month or two of pool weather when we return. Can I leave water in the pool while we are gone? And if so, how should we treat it before we leave?

A lot of people leave trichlor tabs in a floater - this is OK if the CYA isn't too high and the pH is pretty high.

Thanks Mom

You're welcome!

(In case someone is wondering ..... I did a little clean up for Dave on a post that he accidentally posted before he had it ready.)

If you'll follow this recipe, your CYA will be high enough in a month, so that added chlorine will stick around for awhile.
