I live in Waller/Houston TX and have a in ground Pool,I think as long as you have a good pump/filter it will not be to bad to take care of your pool. I spend like $200 a year for shock/chlorine tab.We cover our pool up in October ( for the winter I ad 2lbs. of shock and put in the skimmer baskets the chlorine tablets and that is all till spring ) because my little Maggy May loves to swim but the water is IMO to cold, we run the pump for 2 hours (on a timer ) each day summer and winter. We found out if we run the pump/filter also in the wintertime we did not have much problems with the clean up in spring, also the pool stores will test your water for free.
I'm sure it will not cost you as much because the swimming season is a little shorter then here in Houston.
My husband says ever the rest pool to have is your neighbors

LOL
I think you will find a pool is very relaxing , enjoy your pool and have fun
