Wow! Dealing with lowering T/A should definitely NOT hurt as much as your shoulder! How DID you do that? I crashed a motorcycle--first time since 1978 I had gone down hard. The bike was fixed and trouble free faster than I was--and at a far lower cost, too!

Of course, getting someone to follow directions while you are out of town can be tough...luckily I've never had to SOLVE a problem while away, and I have a fairly good system for having a "helper" care for my pool while I'm away:

Every 2 days dump in 1/2 gallon of bleach. That usually leaves me JUST FINE for up to 2 weeks. The ONLY hitch was I asked my father-in-law to save the gallon jugs as I was refilling them from two carboys--one with 12.5% LC and the other with water, to get me 6% LC.

Naturally he recycled all the empty jugs...into the town's Recycling...
