What do you normally do for sanitation? What's your CYA level? Why consider a algecide? Do often have Algae problems?

I would add floaters and leave the cover on, and fix what happens when you get back.

The cover should reduce CL loss due to the sun so maybe you're CL will be high when you get back!

You should check your CYA when you get back, but I doubt 2-3 weeks will raise it that much.

Normally I just use clorine tablets and once every 5-8 weeks I shock the pool. I also use algecide, as algae is a problem. I am not at experienced in pool maintenance to know what is my CYA level.

Would you run filter pump for all this time away? Someone else recommended that I just supershock pool, add algecide and turn pumps off and no cover. Is that a reasonable option?
