Default Re: Owners Who Have Pools

As mentioned I think that everyone OVER estimates the amount of work that is required to maintain a pool. It can't average out to more than 10 min. per day after the initial scrub down. Many days there is nothing to do regarding maintenace. If you get one of those robot vacuums the time goes down considerably. Or as mentioned just contract with a pool company and sit back and enjoy.

Now cost is anther thing. The initial price and the price to heat during the winter can be substantial depending on how you do it (search other threads for info on this). So if you don't want a pool for cost reasons then don't but i wouldn't not do it just based on time spent.
