BBB and Vacation Maintenance

[boomer99]

I face the same situation, going out of town with noone to watch the pool. I was planning to simply put on the winter cover and turn off the pump for a week. Anybody have any experience about what I will come home to?

I had the electrician come and wire in the Intermatic timer that John T recommended. It cost around $140.00 but I figure to recoup that from the electric bill, if not this season then by next.

Thanks for everyone's advice.
