It will cost more than you think to keep it up, especially as the equipment ages and if you aren’t handy. Case in point: it costs $200 to get someone to look at my pool heater. I’ve fixed it four times in the past few years for $20 in parts, a few hours of sweating, and by watching a YouTube video.

It will mean that you host the preponderance of any family/friends get togethers (I find this a positive).

Make sure you have a heater unless you live on the sun. You will grow to enjoy the freedom of warming up the water in the early/late season or at night.

Where are you located?
