Covered the pool today and finished by making a wish that it would vanish before next summer. I have come to believe that pools are like boats...better to have friends that own one than to own one yourself.
If you have grandchildren they are great - same for boats - they are (pools) a pain to keep clean and the trash out. Thank goodness for the 4stroke outboards for pulling kids on tubes - pools and boats are pain and money pits, so is LSU fb and women. Gotta have'em both.

Side question...why do Polaris cleaners cost so much?
Because people are stupid enough to buy them. Of course I enjoy when people have them and still pay me to take care of the pool. They don't fully clean the pool but they do lessen my time a little bit and they are great service call generators (the main reason they are pushed because of the 2-3 service calls they'll need a year).

They are an awful lot of trouble; however, I think the benefits of having one out weigh the pain in the arse it is.
We are about to relocate, and I can't imagine buying another house without one.

I love my pool. I use it almost everyday for 5 months a year. It's great for exercise and jumping in after yard work.

What the frick? Maintaining a boat is not hard. Why the shite would you think its better to have a friend with one than own your own? That's just crazy. Boats are fricking awesome.
Keeping up a boat is fricking expensive. Shit's always needing repairs

I have a small pool and enjoy it. I have never noticed the problems others seem to complain about. It is not that expensive to maintain and also, I keep it open all year.
