Pool maintenance cost?
Moved into a new house back in September, it came with a pool. We just resumed with the service provider that the previous owner had.
Not ever having a pool before I have no idea what is involved. All I know is a kid comes out once a week with some sort of cart, does his thing and leaves in about 15 minutes.
What is a reasonable price for this service? I'm paying $85 a month. Last month they dinged us for an additional $40 for some conditioner it needed?????

I actually liked doing it back then, but at my age now I would pay some one to do it.

Yeah I'd love to not pay, however it is worth it. I don't have the time and he's the chemistry expert. He's maintaining all 7 or so things you have to keep at the proper values. He knows how the level of a effects the level of b.

I had a Pool back in the day. The Pond requires No Maintence except keeping the Bluegill population low so they don't get Stunted.
Of course throwing your pool furniture in all the Chemicals will clean them right up. If I throw a chair in my Pond the Bass start using it as Structure.
Much rather have Bluegills pecking on my back , For Free...winning..
I ask because I don't know why anyone would have a saltwater pool.

We never have used the pool our selves, the labs live in it practically all day.... Glad we got them a pool.....lol

There's actually four dogs. Yes, pool guy always says a lot of hair in filter.
When I was a kid in the 70's my best friend would bring his pit bull over to our house to swim in the pool.
My dad would get pizzd off and tell my buddy to get his mange dog out our pool and go give a bath some where else. Dog hair everywhere.
LOL.was kinda gross. Our Lab and Golden would not get near our pool till the day they died a few years ago. Hated water, never understood why. We did not discourage them.
Never thought about costs as it's not really relevant. Maybe $50 to 60 a month for me. I enjoy cleaning and maintaining it. Put some tunes on, make a drink, clean the pool.
