I'm interested in both cost of doing it yourself (chemicals, test kits, your time, heating if required) and contracting it out for someone else to do it on a regular basis (I presume weekly).

I'm trying to understand the economics of owning your own pool vs using one of the community pools of which costs are already covered by the community fees.

Thank you for any feedback.

Here ya go -- the good, the bad, the ugly.
