Shadow the pool cleaning service. Ask questions and take notes. Review the notes and type up instructions for yourself. Print the instructions. The next time the pool service comes, ask them to review your instructions. Make any needed changes. Search on-line for cheapest chemicals. Now, subtracting the cost of the supplies (chemicals, test-strips, etc.), calculate your savings. If the savings aren't that much, then ask yourself if a home without the hassle of a pool would be better for you.
