What to do before going away?

[aylad]

Let's say that I get my pool (24' AG) balanced then later in the summer I go away for a week. What's the best way to deal with water treatment during the time away? Obviously I could use a puck which will raise CYA so the question in that regard is should I start CYA levels on the lower side (30 to 40 ppm) to allow some room for it to go up later on or is one puck for a week not going to make much difference?

Also are there other options (besides having a neighbor add chemicals).

Thanks

Using one puck over a week's time isn't going to affect your CYA significantly....but keep in mind that it very well may drop your pH.
