So you have an inground swimming pool in your backyard and all year you have been taking care of it and you have been using it and it's been nothing but all blast all season long. Some people buy inground pools so that they don't have to take a vacation and instead decide to turn their backyard into a vacation destination. But let's face it, everyone needs a vacation and when better than in the summer. Well the problem now becomes your pool. Your pool, much like your pets, need to be taken care of while you are gone. So here are some tips to ensure your pool remains in tact while you are on vacation.
The first thing you need to do is find a friend or relative that you can trust to enter your backyard while you are gone to perform simple tasks on your swimming pool including adding chemicals, emptying the skimmer basket(s) and vacuuming manually or putting the automatic pool cleaner in. It would be ideal to find someone who already has a pool and has taken care of it. This way it won't be a learning experience for them while you are gone.
Before you leave you want to vacuum your pool and add shock and any other necessary chemicals to it, this way the person coming over won't have to worry about this for a week. Now if you are leaving for 2 weeks or more this person should check this each week.
After that, as long as the weather is doing fine and your timer is working correctly all they have to do is empty the skimmer basket(s) and make sure the pool is clean.
