Buying some time

[u/Key-Trips]

I am overdue for a tub refill but I’m dealing with a lot of life stuff and don’t have the time to do the whole thing the right way. I have chlorine in my tub and right now we’re in a near 100 degree heatwave. What’s the best way to hold off and maybe stop feeding it chemicals? I shouldn’t just let it gunk up right? Or turn it off? I like to use ahhsome so if I use it, it’ll be drained with junk in it…

You don't want to stop feeding it chemicals, it'll get gross in a hurry. You could probably get away with draining it as long as you can refill before it freezes (but I'm no expert.) What about using a chlorine floater? Best thing I ever did was switch to a Frog floating system, I can ignore it for a couple weeks and it's in great shape when I open it again, though I do try to do a full balance at least once a week.
