We have an in ground pool and we never use it - and we live in AZ for gawd's sake...so you'd think we'd use it all the time! If I had to do it over again, I'd not get a pool bc I think they're a lot of work/expense without much reward. I do like looking at it though, just when sitting outside...it def adds to the ambiance.
I take care of our pool myself. I run the pump 1.5hrs a night (vs the EIGHT hours they tell you to do, which is unnecessary) - it's about 12,000 gallons. To take care of the pool, I use the BBB method which is just awesome bc you never get high cyanuric acid, which forces you to drain and refill your pool if/when it happens.
