We have a public pool over in the connecting town. I haven't been to it since it was renovated years ago

I want a pool, but if I get one every scroungy little kid in the neighborhood will be begging to use it.

I have a pond on my property. The first couple of years it was great.

Now the snapping turtles and muskrats and frogs/toads and fish have taken it over. I won't go near it. I do enjoy the wildlife that visit it though. Deer, ducks, geese, etc.

As for a pool..... I have friends who have them and they complain all the time about the maintenance and upkeep. I don't need more work. So..... no pool in my future.

I would like a pool, but I imagine that the expense and effort of maintenance would drive me to get rid of it eventually.

We have had ours about 15 years. The last 3 years it rarely gets used but it still has to be maintained & vacuumed.

Salt system is the way to go...I can't believe that ANYBODY still has chlorine at this day and age. If they knew at all how much easier a salt system is, they'd switch in a heartbeat. I think it's about $4000 to switch over...but my dad has spent a grand total of $6.50 maintaining his pool this year and his water is crystal clear and gorgeous. My neighbor's water can best be described as teal-ish colored...and she's already had to shock it twice!!!

I'm hoping to switch to a salt water filter next summer. I was told it would be about 1500 to switch my existing one.

Yanno, that DOES sound more right than the $4000 I said. What's that say about me that I can't remember when it's what my dad does for a living??? LMFAO
