re: Pool owners...regret it?

I bought the house with the pool. We've enjoyed it. You can spend time every week worrying about the chemistry (like I did), but eventually you learn that there's only a few routine things you need to do and a few things to do a few times a year. If you're not a dumb arse then maintaining it is not an issue.

For the first few years, I did the chemist thing too. Constantly trying to raise and lower PH. Now: 4 gallons of liquid chlorine to open and close. Full bottle of purple algaecide once a month and gallon of liquid chlorine twice to three times per week.
