I have a concrete pool with pebble tech surface. I have an automatic chlorine system that uses the 3" tabs. It works fine. I have swam in salt pools and the water does feel really nice. I think the problem is electronic failures occasionally.

I have a concrete deck with the cool deck on it. I hate it. I really wish I had had pavers used for the decking.

I added solar heating two years ago which is fantastic. We can swim at water above 80 degrees 9 months of the year.

Overall, I enjoy the hell out of my pool as does my family. It was well worth the investment.

You like the pebble tech? I thought about that but figured it would eat your feet up after being in the pool for extended periods.

I havd a 20 x 40 gunnite pool. When Rita trashed it I had it resurfaced and went with a salt water system. Having trouble now with black algae(never had it before I resurfaced it) so I have a guy come by twice a week to service it($200 a month). I used to do all the work on it my self and it wasn't too bad. I have had some friends who have built gunnite pools recently and spent nearly 75k. My advice is to not be afraid of buying a house with a pool, but building one is an expensive proposition with very little chance of recouping your money when you sell the house.
