Learned a lot over the years.
1) Pool covers can be great (expensive 7-10k electric cover) but won't eliminate basic maintenance. No matter what you do or buy basic testing and maintenance is required for a pool.
2) If you have an automatic chlorinator (tabs, pellets, etc) Do a test of Cyanuric Acid. (Stabilizer). If chlorine is not working either Way too high CA or no CA and FL sun is burning off the chlorine before it can work.
3) If you have Salt water chlorinator may not be producing enough Chlorine have to check salt and chlorine levels in water.
4) If no auto chlorination then you have to monitor chlorine daily or you'll get into algae trouble.
5) No matter what need a high quality test kit. Highly prefer one with a FAS-DPD chlorine test. Very easy, very accurate. Taylor k-2006 I believe.
