I agree spk. We opened our pool about Memorial Day up North and used it until Labor Day. That's 3 months of use. And, probably only 1/2 the time the weather was good enough to swim. Plus with the leaves and pine needles dropping in the pool we had to vacuum twice a week and put chemicals in more often than I wanted to. We did have the automatic cleaner so it could just roam around and clean but we still had to hook it up. So, after only swimming in it for about 45 days total we had to drain the pool, the lines, put lots of chemicals in it to close for the winter, put all furniture away, take out diving board, ladders and hand rails and cover it. It was one full day of back breaking work. With a pool in TV we get to swim in it for probably 9 months a year, never have to cover it or put furniture away and with a salt pool it should be less maintenance. Plus we can swim when ever we want in the privacy of our own home. Now I call that sweet!
