We put a pool in the ground when my kids were little. As they grew it got alot of use................then they grew up. You need to check the chemistry daily and add chemicals to keep it balanced. The pool has to be vacummed at least a couple of times a week, I used a robotic cleaner which made it easier but was expensive to buy.

Considering the cost of running the pumps, cleaning, chemicals and misc upkeep. I would rather use a village pool as go home.

BTW our next house didn't have a pool and my CVY doesn't. We will probably put in an above the ground spa. One nice thing about above the ground is if you decide you don't want it anymore you can get rid of it.

In the ground is there forever
