Rental w/Pool Cover, Fill Or Fix?

[Conte Cuttino]

Just bought a long term rental in Florence, SC with a non-working pool (ripped liner & old mechanics). Should I leave as is and cover it with a mesh cover for $2800 (really considering this), put a new liner in for 8k (not including new mechanics), or just fill it (don't know the cost on filling at this time)?

@Conte Cuttino  you have two choices fill or fix.  A pool cover (walk on) would only be a temporary measure if you were going to fix in the spring.  You really can't just leave it that way its a liability.

The choice to fill of fix is a monetary one. If it was going to be a STR I would be more inclined to fix but get a pool company out to estimate. Long term rental Your location I think you fill it both for liability and also if there is no competitive edge to having a pool.
