Title: Re: [AFMUG] OT Swimming Pools
In FL it is an unwritten rule every house should have an in ground pool. We have had one for 20+ years. I do the salt deal. Really like it. Not very much maintenance. Of course we don't have to winterize and with the solar heaters, we get a good 9 months of use. We had some of our family from the mid-west using it when they were down for Thanksgiving. When the kids were younger it would be used every day during the summer. Now my wife will use it about 4 days a week for low impact exercise when it is warm enough.
All that being said, I would never rip it out of the ground. With just a bit of modification, it would make a great koi pond.

A friend of mine owns a company that does nothing but remove in-ground pools.

Around here the above ground pool doesnt de-value the property due to possible removal if wanted.
In ground pools here sell for much less than a home without one here.
There are some really nice above ground systems but the only thing I would be concerned with is the decking or
construction to go with it because it would induce more maint unless you went with composite 100%

Neighbor’s house finally sold. In ground heated saltwater pool, according to the MLS listing. I don’t know about lower maintenance. It seemed like they had the pool service truck there on a weekly basis. Plus 2 days in fall to prep it for winter.

(that’s my much more modest house visible at the right of the photo)
Maybe a pool table instead of a pool?
Of course, come to think of it, a customer recently bought a big house where the only thing the previous owner left behind was the pool table. I guess those things are a bitch to move.

A customer of mine had a retracting glass roof over the pool area, that was pretty nice. The salt water pools are lower maintenance and healthier from what my friends that have them have told me.

I have a friend that put it inside.
Another friend did a salt water pool due to supposedly low maintenance. Not sure about that technology.
Hmmmm.
I have an elevation and a patio area that is conducive to being an outdoor extension of a pool deck.

Put a roof on it and keep your home theater and gym in there.
When we had one, it was used more for friends and family than we did for ourselves. We don't have one here, and I'm fine with that.

Considering adding a pool to my home.
Worth it?
Desert Utah.
Lots of blowing dust year around.
Only 3-4 months of weather suitable for use.
Would I use it much?
I don’t use my home theater much.
I don’t use my home gym much.
