Ours is $130/mo for pool and spa.

Pool Cleaning
 

WOW, we must be lucky. We only pay $90 a month and we have the best guy possible. He takes care of the pool and even makes repairs if needed very reasonably. Our pool is always glistening.
Think a pool is a waste of money? Our grandson doesn't think so PLUS watch how many people get up from their chairs, get in the pool for maybe a minute, shiver (if you know what I mean), then get out. Nasty nasty

Hmmm, why would I want my own pool here in The Villages?

1. My pool water is clearer and cleaner than any pool in The Villages. I know what's (and who) has been in it.
2. I can drink anything I want in my pool. If I want to have a cocktail while floating around, no one's going to complain.
3. No folks to contend with that think they need to enforce every rule (even when it's only their rule).
4. I can play any type of music I want, at the volume I prefer.
5. You can only go into a Villages pool once without a swimsuit - after that you're banned :)
6. My pool is open 24x7. After a long night dancing at the square, it feels awesome to jump in.
7. I can take floaties, toys, etc into the pool.

That's a short quick list, but you get the idea - there are a many more reasons. I've had a pool at my home wherever I've been for the past 35 years and have never not used it, nor thought it was useless.

Excellent post!

If you do all your own vacuuming and minor daily cleaning tasks (chemical check), you should only need "Mr. Pool Dude" for opening, closing, and other extensive jobs like pump replacement. I did all that myself for my pool in Pennsylvania before moving here. But that's also why I sold that house and pool for someone else now gets to have all that fun. The last few years were getting to be a drag. If you don't close the pool for a period of time, forget that part.

I enjoyed taking care of my pool up north and there was no such thing as a bird cage. That is a nice feature to keep pool cleaner.

Agree 100% and we lived in South Florida before moving here. Did not have a heater and did not use pool November thru March. We used pool 20-30 times a year. Did not have a pool service and spent more time cleaning/maintaining it.

Your Cleaning Service?
 

Are you willing to share the name and contact information for your cleaning service? THANKS!

I have a UV light system on my pool. Almost no chemicals, tabs every couple weeks, little acid, has floor cleaners, not much to do but float

Had a pool for 25 yrs. My advise is have it removed and go to one if the 74 pools in TV.

Update 108 pools.
