Hole in Liner

Do you think if I add maybe a foot of water from the hose to my pool that my chemicals will be too unbalanced? If not, that is the route I would like to take. Otherwise, if I have to rebalance, now it will be at least this coming weekend before I can close.

Unless the numbers on your fill water are totally out of whack, I don't see where adding fill water will "unbalance" your chemicals enough to matter. Once you put the water back in, just raise your chlorine back to shock level and you should be good from there. The TA and CH are not crucial at this point, and topping off shouldn't affect your pH that much if your tap water pH is within normal limits.

Glad you found the leaks, hope it's not too much of a pain to fix, once you get in..

Draining the pool as I type this... Will update everyone on my results, if they don't find me floating face-down in the pool from hypothermia. I'm hoping to drain the pool to about 2 feet, which should enable me to patch the holes without getting my torso into the water. Then I'll fill the pool another foot of water so it is just under the return. Hopefully I can close tomorrow.
