    I let my salt system take care of the chlorine while on vacation

    just this reason was one of the driving factors in me deciding to go salt.

    I do as has was posted and leave jugs for someone to pour in. You can write the day or date on the jug to help them keep it straight too.

    Well with universal agreement, I will take my free CL to 10 the evening before and add bleach every other day (approximately 4 ppm).

    I think I will add some poly60 as by the end of the week I may be on the low end of free CL

    I do agree that a SWG is the way to go, it just was not in the cards for this season. Hopefully next year!!

    Thanks to everyone for the prompt reply.
