    Sadly can't get that until tomorrow. Would it be safer for me to run the hose in the pool? I can probably add a little more then an inch of water and faucet Ph was about 7.4? Looks like an overcast day so far. :O(

    Adding water wouldn't hurt anything, that's for sure, but not sure how much it will actually bring your pH down. When you get the kit tomorrow, test and post your numbers. If pH is that high, you'll need to lower it by using some muriatic acid. Please read the tab in my signature about using muriatic acid safely before you use it.
