    Default Can my pool stay home alone for 10 days?

    All the posts I've read dealing with pool maintenance while the owner is on vacation have included a "pool-sitter" - is this because it's impossible to go w/o? I have to go away for 10 days. I'm really not comfortable leaving the filter on a timer either. Can I just clean/vacuum really well, make sure everything tests w/in acceptable levels, dump in a bunch of chlorine and put the cover on? What would I be likely to come home to? It's an 18' Intex, gets sun about 5 hrs a day and our temps will likely be 85-95.

    Thanks!! Amy
