Strange that you guys don't have auto fill float valves in your pool
to maintain the water levels...

We are talking about a huge cover for that big of a pool. It would
require probably 3 people to put out and take up. Not practical.

Would not a cover mitigate most of that?

I have a 40,000 gal pool. My back yard is surrounded by trees
(two sides of crepe myrtles, and some kind of broadleaf
deciduous trees along the back) and I have a large pecan tree
that has very high branches that hang over the shallow end in
one part. The squirrels like to play a game and see how far
they can chuck half eaten pecans out into the pool. Green
pecans sink and almost immediately turn brown staining the
plaster. Only thing that gets the stains off is poring
granulated shock on them and letting it sit without the filter
running for a couple hours. We also loose about a 1/4 to 1/2
inch a day in the TX summer. With all the organic material
that ends up in my pool, and with the water loss and replacing
with much less chlorinated city water, I have to shock it at
least once a week in the summer and add algicide at least once
per month. The sun also breaks chlorine down quickly. I spend
about 350/month in the summer in chemicals and have to skim
every day and brush it at least twice a week. If I had it to
do again, I would never, ever own a pool.

In FL it is an unwritten rule every house should have an
in ground pool. We have had one for 20+ years. I do the
salt deal. Really like it. Not very much maintenance. Of
course we don't have to winterize and with the solar
heaters, we get a good 9 months of use. We had some of
our family from the mid-west using it when they were down
for Thanksgiving. When the kids were younger it would be
used every day during the summer. Now my wife will use it
about 4 days a week for low impact exercise when it is
warm enough.
All that being said, I would never rip it out of the
ground. With just a bit of modification, it would make a
great koi pond.

In ground pools here sell for much less than a home

There are some really nice above ground systems but the
only thing I would be concerned with is the decking or
construction to go with it because it would induce more
maint unless you went with composite 100%

Neighbor’s house finally sold. In ground heated

know about lower maintenance. It seemed like they had the
pool service truck there on a weekly basis. Plus 2 days
in fall to prep it for winter.

Maybe a pool table instead of a pool?
Of course, come to think of it, a customer recently bought
a big house where the only thing the previous owner left
behind was the pool table. I guess those things are a
bitch to move.

A customer of mine had a retracting glass roof over the
pool area, that was pretty nice. The salt water pools are
lower maintenance and healthier from what my friends that
have them have told me.

Another friend did a salt water pool due to supposedly low

Hmmmm.
I have an elevation and a patio area that is conducive to
being an outdoor extension of a pool deck.

Put a roof on it and keep your home theater and gym in there.
When we had one, it was used more for friends and family
than we did for ourselves. We don't have one here, and I'm
fine with that.

Considering adding a pool to my home.
Worth it?
Desert Utah.
Lots of blowing dust year around.
Only 3-4 months of weather suitable for use.
Would I use it much?
I don’t use my home theater much.
I don’t use my home gym much.
