Last week discovered a rip about the size of a golf ball on the floor of my pool. It's a tear with a connected flap, not a complete hole. Short term solution: I grabbed some underwater flex tape and put a couple strips over it. Seems to be doing ok over the last 2 days. No sand coming in and I don't seem to be losing water. Question is about the liner replacement. Is there one time of the season that's better to replace a liner than another? ASAP, wait until end of season but then have to re-fill and balance before winter closing? Close as usual and schedule first thing in the spring? Supposedly the winter cold will not affect the adhesive of the tape. Thanks everyone.
Is there a time of the season that's best to replace a liner?

I've read the best time is when it's warm/hot out so the liner is more pliable. Whether it's true or not IDK but it sounds reasonable.

Warm to hot day with no wind. For me I would do it as soon as I am able to so as to not risk any damage to the base or rusting on the walls.
