Years ago we had some kind of goofy thread that went for something like 61
days.

Is this some kind of wireless or fiber optic pool? I think it's weird how we
can spend all day on this tangent.

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.

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.

Around here the above ground pool doesnt de-value the

In ground pools here sell for much less than a home without
one here.
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

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.

(that’s my much more modest house visible at the

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 maintenance. Not sure about that technology.
Hmmmm.
I have an elevation and a patio area that is
conducive to being an outdoor extension of a pool deck.

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.
