It's on my TODO but will not be a trivial change.

Pgpool will send any query not starting with "SELECT" or "select" to
the master. So you can insert a white space or a comment, for example
"/* NO LOAD BALANCE */" at the beginning of the line to prevent the
query to be sent to the slave.

Set weight_secondary to 0.
