I just gotta say again - thanks everyone who helps folks like me out. I vacuumed the pool this morning, and except for the water being 55.2 Degrees, it is ready to go!
Living in the Northwest, I just keep the pool full all year long, and balanced. Obviously it needs a lot less Chlorine in the winter.
Side Note: The local Pool Store moved last weekend, so I stopped in to see what I could get on sale. I picked up an epoxy tube to plug some small cracks in the skimmer. While I was there, in the testing area they were gathering a bunch of items for a lady who had brought in a water sample. I wanted so badly to pull her aside, but it wasn't my place to do so. Sooner or later she will end up where I was - out of control CYA, and not understanding why she can't shock the pool clear...
Anyways, thanks again! TFP works! I had some water behind the liner (it's gone now). The leak detection guy said he'd never seen a cleaner pool in winter (or summer).
