My parents had some stupid robot that cleaned their pool and the thing broke every other week.
Take that 150k and join a high end country club, that will have a beautiful pool that you don't have to clean or maintain. |

And naked kinky patio sex is stupid. If it were me I would get a nice inground pool and fuck the patio, fuck the sound system, fuck everything except for the pool. And then I would glass it in so I can use it year round. Indoor pools stay cleaner too. |
|
Date: June 7th, 2017 6:51 PM Author: Puce Cerebral Crackhouse Internal Respiration Cheap pool cleaning robots are terrible. I have a dolphin Nautilus ($600) and it has worked well for the year I've had it.
For my 12000 gallon pool, the monthly maintenance cost is $20-$30 in bleach and muriatic acid + the electricity to run that robot. Beats paying someone $200/month to clean it once a week.
One key - get a VARIABLE speed pool pump. A single speed pump is literally the largest single user of electricity in a normal home. |

Pools are in the same category of flies, floats, or fucks.
Use a friends. Maintenance can be sucky, and there is no way you'll get the utility out of it that you think.
I'm gonna LJL when your Hayward does 360s around the pool drain, then a huge storm comes, your filter breaks, You will spend hundreds trying to get the pool to be blue, cleaning the filter every couple of hours, running the pump 24 hours a day. |

Date: June 7th, 2017 7:06 PM Author: Free-loading pistol Chemicals and water chemistry are easy, depending on the size figure $20-$40 a month if you do it yourself, 2 hours a month. Dealing w the machinery is a little more cumbersome, but really not that bad. If you aren't at least a moderate prole-goy-mr.-fix-it you might have some problems.
What gets to be a nightmare are leaks/post storms. If you actually build it, summon me and I'll give you all the pointers I can.
Its more maintenance than you think, and pool guys on average, are much less than reliable. |
