Leaving pool up without water?

Flex tape is actually ok, in certain situations.

Flex tape on the outside, not ok. Flex tape inside, with the water pressure, seems to work.

You will want to have water in the pool. Last spring we had to re-level out above ground pool, it was drained for less than a day, but any wind blew the walls around and these were not heavy winds. Just patch the hole with flex tape or patch it and get some water in the pool if you cannot get the new liner installed before winter.

Old thread, but wanted to update. I ended up leaving the pool up with no water in it and no cover, I wasn't able to get a patch to hold. Last weekend I had a few buddies over and we got the new liner in! Working on balancing chemicals now!
