I hear there a lot of work.  But it’s hot and the kids would love it.  I would just be going above ground as I couldn’t afford an inground one.  It would be from a pool place like Eastgate pools and spas or Watson.  I had one of them cheapos and never could get that piece o shite level.

Who has one?  Would you get another one?  Anything I should be looking for when shopping for it?   Thanks in advance!

I have a 32' above ground.  Piece. Of. Cake.  My neighbor showed me the ropes, and we hardly touch the thing all year round.  Spend roughly 200-300 bucks a year on it.  Start out with an opening kit, and 4 gallons of liquid shock.  Put tabs in the skimmer and the floater as needed.  If the pH drops on you, don't spend a fortune on pool chemicals, use baking soda....yes, baking soda.  When you close, add a closing kit and four more bottles of shock, run for 24 hours and cover it.  Next spring, water will be crystal clear, and ready to start over.  IF it does get green on you, don't sweat it......just add a few gallons of bleach at start, and once it's clear, put the opening kit in and wait a couple days and enjoy. :andy:
