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.

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

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

There's a lot to know and if you don't, your pool chemistry can go bad very fast. Over a long time, we had rust stains in the pool from the Villages water. Difficult to remove, easy to prevent. If you want to see how complicated self-pool care can get, go to troublefreepool.com You'll see that pool care can very complicated. Good luck if you do it yourself.

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.
