Regular Maintenance & Cleaning
While it may seem like a small drawback, It's still important to be aware of that pools require maintenance and cleaning. Nobody wants to be swimming in a green pool. Owners can expect to spend between 2-8 hours per week maintaining the pool. Or you can elect to hire a company to manintain it.
