The first 5-7 years it's a lot of fun and everything is new. Then things start breaking. I have a 16000 gallon gunite. Salt cell had to be replaced every 3 years so I switched to chlorine. Been through 3 pumps, 2 booster pumps for Polaris, changed multiport valve, on the third Polaris, had it resurfaced a year and a half ago. Everytime it rains the chemicals need to be rebalanced. It just goes on and on.
It's just the kind of thing that you will be putting money into forever so keep that in mind. And the older it gets, the more costly it is. Your initial investment is just the beginning.
Kid is grown and we still use it but not a lot. You will get tired of it one day so keep that in mind as well.
It's not a lot of work besides keeping up with the chemical balance, brushing it down every week, and backwashing every week. Make sure you get a Polaris or something similar so you won't have to manually vacuum.
It's just something I wish I didn't have to be bothered with anymore and something that isn't easy to get rid of.
Next major thing that has to be repaired or replaced I will probably fill it in.
