I thoroughly enjoy our pool, and wouldn't trade it for a second. Being saltwater, there is very little maintenance involved. Weekly or bi-weekly vacuuming, and you're done. About the only thing I add is a cup or two of muriatic acid once a week to keep the pH from climbing. As far as other posters complaining about the "hassle" of maintaining a pool, I feel just the opposite.
Even during the cold time of year when we might not be getting in the pool, I couldn't imagine not being able to sit poolside with a cup of coffee and watch the beautiful blue water.
Pools are not for everyone, but there is simply no comparison between having your own pool and having to use a community pool.
