Our angle salt water 28’ 12x18’ is programmed 4a-noon December-March heat to 89 to warm for early swim.

Summer 6a-2p, & 7-8p chiller kicks in @88. So our chemical use is lower. The higher the summer water temp, higher chlorine loss. Rain changes salt and stabilizers.
Summer is harder to maintain balance due to sun and rainstorms.

Our pool company did extensive training with us, and we maintain our own. But is family run and if I need help I can text one of the owners and get a response within a few hours. Chemicals runs $30ish or less a month. We don’t need to maintain brushing or keeping pool clean, because we have a robot.

That said if you are first time pool owner, and T&D built, they will service you pool, for a substantial fee. Test water Clean your filter, cell when needed, add chemicals and that famous 5;minute brushing. However once you are comfortable you can always drop them.
