Wasn't sure where to post this...I went outside and added 4 cups acid to the pool this morning. Went over to check the filter pressure (which was fine) and saw the in-line chlorinator spewing water everywhere. There has always been a small drip coming from it and the plan was to replace the pump, filter case, and chlorinator at some point this year. Obviously, we can't run the pump right now until we temporarily fix the leak, or replace everything. So, my questions.

1. I had to turn the pump off 10 minutes after I added the acid this morning. Was that wrong? I figured saving the water was more important than circulating the acid.

2. I had planned on adding liquid chlorine tonight (level was ~2-3ppm yesterday CYA is 60ppm. Average daily loss of Chlorine is ~2ppm). Can I still add it even though the pump is not on?

3. We are going away for the weekend (great timing, right?) and we may have to wait for new parts to be shipped to us, so this problem may not get fixed ASAP. How can I prevent the pool from getting green and swampy with no pump to circulate the water?

Pool is in-ground, 12000gal, aggregate surface, no enclosure. Pool has been looking great...we were going to start swimming next weekend.
