Man, I hate to hear that. Yeah, 1/2 to an inch of water loss is a leak.
I would not have anyone in my pool at pH 8.2 and 0.5 chlorine. Here is what you can do. Add the acid, brush the entire pool. If it doesn't take 20 minutes, brush it twice. Measure pH in 2 different places. If in the 7s, add enough chlorine to get to target. Brush the whole thing again (or twice, I bet you are catching on) . This is assuming the water is clear to start with. If it's cloudy, there is nothing to do but add some bleach, brush and figure out your leak situation.
