Need help deciding before I buy?
I have been wanting an above ground pool for 4 years but have been too concerned that it will be too much for me to keep up with. I’ve never owned one. I’ve had one growing up and as a kid I loved it. I’m thinking of getting an 18 ft round pool by 52. My friend has owned a larger pool twice the size and keeps telling me not to do it that it’s too much maintenance. I won’t be able to keep up with it. It’s gonna get algae. I won’t be able to get it out. It’s gonna be expensive to maintain, and she told me that her other friend got a round pool and only kept it up for one year because algae got in it and they tried their best to keep it clean. I do know that my friends did not use a pool cover. I plan on getting a solar pool cover and a robotic vacuum which my friend with the big Pool said that she used and she loved it but again she did not use a pool cover. I told her I’ll be using a pool cover. She said that’s stupid. No one does that only when you close it up for the winner however, my research shows differently before I go and invest all this money and hiring someone to get the ground level and purchasing the pool and all the supplies. or is this manageable they were just doing it incorrectly. Looking forward to hearing from all you poor owners. I’m worried that this will be too much for me or is this manageable they were just doing it incorrectly.
