I really enjoy our pool. Our 10 month old daughter is gonna swim about the time she walks I'm thinking. Our pool is a salt water pool and the lack of Chlorine taste is great. We have some kind of vacuum the goes on the bottom. And a debris filter on the south side at surface level. My pool guy is 60 bucks a month for chemicals and service. I can make more the 15 bucks an hour at the shop on some days. So I would rather pay for his service. And that includes the salt they put in the pool a few times a year.
