Good afternoon!

My husband and I just installed a used pool that we purchased- it's a 26' round above ground. We purchased and installed a new liner as well. My husband (and my father-in-law) want to wait until we return from our family vacation (around June 23) before "filling" the pool with water. My concern is that keeping the liner "dry" for the next 3 weeks may cause damage when we fill it (like dry rot, etc). We have about 2 inches of water (from our well) in the bottom of the pool right now, but need to have a water delivery service bring us water to fill the rest of the pool (so that we don't blow out our pump). My husband is worried that the pool will be green when we get home. I'm worried that the dry pool will be damaged. Is there a right or wrong answer? Which is better- to fill it and deal with the water chemistry when we get home, or leave it dry until we get back?
