had a pool for 13 months....kids loved it but I hated it. keeping it clean wasn't bad until way on into the summer when it got good and hot. Water temp regularly got low/mid-90's because it got no shade at all and you couldn't keep enough chemicals in it to stop algae from turning it green. I was putting choline tablets in it constantly and was going through 5-7 pounds of shock/week. And I was never able to get the PH where it was supposed to be. No matter what I did or how much stuff I dumped in it, the best I ever got the PH was on the [very] low end of "normal"...usually it was noticeably low.

Words cannot express how glad I am to not be messing with it anymore.
