My house "came" with an 18' round above ground pool. Presently, said pool is sitting in my yard filled with green water and a liner that needs to be replaced. I have a filter and a pump but have no idea if they work....with that said. I have one good arm and one arm I that is useless when doing any real work.

Sooooo....I call a pool guy. $750 for new liner ONLY. Says he will get the rest in tip top shape...blah, blah, blah....I'm thinking by the time its over, chemicals etc. and a new filter stuffage etc...I'm probably really looking at atleast $1200.

So for roughly 2 months "July and August" sometimes "June July and part of August" but roughly 2 months out of the year here in WNY we can have a pool up and running" rule around here is we open pools on Memorial Day and close on Labor Day...but often, like this year, we couldn't open till middle of June...

Anyway...is it worth it? How much do you all spend on chemicals for the summer? How about cleaning etc? I really like the idea of having a pool but not sure what I want to do with this mess....
