Can my pool stay home alone for 10 days?

Anna, is your pump 110V? Mine is and I use a <$20 timer from ACE Hardware. I feel strongly that some circulation is important and even if you only run it for a couple hours a day it can help.

Yes, it's a 110V but it's hard wired. There's no way of plugging in a timer. Eventually, we'll hire an electrician to either wire in a timer or to change the setup to a plug-in, but for now, things are as they are

I think you could get away with pushing the floater out away from the side of the pool before lowering the cover on it.

Ok, thanks. A load off my mind.
