Pool installed in 1988, would you replace?

Which one? The first or second one?
First one was destroyed by wind gust. Crumpled the walls n snapped the tracks when I was trying to replace the liner.
Second one was ordered about a week later n I put it up last week in May. Filled it n the day we were going to have our first swim, the house burnt down. I drained it 2 days later n it sat empty til August when we bought the new house. I took it down n brought it over to install here but decided to build an inground instead and sold that pool for $3k to a coworker. Whole set up n brand new liner.
Thanks for the responses. Its good to hear they are decent pools! We went to the store today and they had the Sharkline Summerfield 21’ in stock. So I put down the deposit.
I had a nice conversation with the saleswoman. She gave me the run down on the local installers. She even called the one I was leaning towards while I was there and they are going to squeeze me in as soon as we can get the permits going. The installer also told me when I spoke with him that he preferred the Sharkline to the Carvin pool they also had in stock.
Fingers crossed it all goes smooth. They will work with the town on all the permits so that’s great.

I find the fire scarier.
If the pool gets destroyed that sucks but losing your house....... That's awful.
yeah apologies I didn’t mean to gloss over that, that definitely sounded horrifying!

I know nothing about AGP’s or this particular brand. But that pool does not look to my eye like it needs replacing ASAP. I’d caution the OP not to make a rash decision. Fix the leak, treat the rust, enjoy the summer, and see if more time changes your perception of the current pool.
I’d be very worried you’re replacing something that still looks to have plenty of usable life, for something far more unknown (both the new pool and the contractor that will install it.)
This is the worst time, seemingly, in the history of the world to be building anything. Both from trades lacking manpower, suppliers lacking parts, and inflation hitting all sectors… I’d personally try to kick the can down the road on this and see what happens. The pool might have 10+ years left.

I lost so much over the last 3 years. My dad. Our home n everything in it. My mom a few months later. Last year my husband to covid. I'm getting through it though. I'm gonna be ok. Thanks guys.
Sorry to hear all that! I can’t imagine dealing with all of that in such a short time. Any one of those things would be tough to manage let alone a series of them.
Right now the pool has about 2’ of water in it. I pulled off the cover that was laying on top of the water.
The install is scheduled for June 8th. What should I do with the water until then? I can’t hook up a pump but it will basically turn into a swamp in a month.
Thanks!
