Our home is for sale, and we have a pool. It is almost 100% maintenance free. I don't even own a vacuum hose. Salt automatic chlorinator, pop up jet cleaners, auto fill and auto overflow.
All we do is swim in it. I test the chemistry twice a week and smile.
At the public pool, you can't swim after dark and you can't swim in the type of swimming attire that is most comfortable. At the public pool, you don't know whose grandkid used it as his private toilet.
