Hi guys,
My pool liner is worn out--it developed a leak about half way down in the fall, and now I am undecided as to whether I should just fill in my pool. Nobody has used my pool for the past 5 years, but I'm not sure if I am ready to fill it in. I have been told it will cost between $6000-$15000 to fill it in, and it should be around $7000 or so for a new liner, new Polaris & pump, and new cover. Everything pretty much broke at once And I haven't had the chance to really figure out if filling a pool in is going to look awful.
Anybody got any ideas about that?
My real question though--could I just go ahead an drain it and put a safety cover on it this year? I believe those let the rain thru, so I might have a mosquito problem (I live in Alabama). But can a small sump pump be used under one of those covers? I've had some serious health issues the past 3 years and its been very hard for me to keep up with my house and pool and animals on my own. It would be a real help for me to delay opening it right now. Thanks for any advice.
