re: Do you own a pool?

Frick yes it is.

The kids play in it constantly.

It’s hot for 9 months of the year.

There is something great about watching LSU football and baseball games while floating in the pool with a beer.

When the kids friends come over, you get to see the other moms in bikinis.

You can frick your lady in the pool whenever you please.

The upsides to a pool so greatly out weigh the negative.

Every bit of this.

As far as cost, mine is salt water with upgrades, 42*16, spent 70k.

Spend maybe 50 a month during the winter and about an hour of time to keep it perfect.

Spring/fall cost about 75 a month and 30-45 min a week to keep perfect

Summer- 100/month and 1 hour a week to keep perfect

Mine is salt water with a robot vacuum, cartridge filters that I clean every 3 months.

Coat me max 100 extra in electrical during the summer. To run hot tub every weekend during winter, extra 75 depending on how much we use.

Overall was a great decision for sure and we use the hell out of it. Kids were in the hot tub with the temp at 90 last night during the game. I watched the end of the other games last night in it.

Overall I love ours. You will find people complaining about the maintenance, that's because they have older pools, non salt water and or liner pools.

Gunite with salt and robots are the key. Hell you can even get chemical auto injection built in if you want.

I bring water to pool store once a week during the summer to test, takes 5 min. Buy what need after it's spits out results and what's needed to correct. During winter it's once a month, spring/fall is twice monthly. My pools stay perfect all year around. And honestly if you run the circulation more during the day, you can get away with half the maintenance I described.
