you dont have my big ass pool. thing would eat 3 chlorine tabs in 4 days in summer time and take about 1.5 weeks during winter. then add in muriatic acid when storms blow in and i have not chlorinated enough and she goes green in a day. i ran two floater things in my pool and the sun would still eat the chlorine faster than it could come out of the tabs. id use a gallon of acid ever two weeks just to keep the levels at an acceptable level. the theres the baking soda id have to throw in to drop PH levels after so much acid and new water went in. then add in water (pool was an additional 40 bucks a month in summer, 20 in winter). then add in broken parts (pump impeller, pump defuser, water seal, broken PCV pipes , one was my fault, rest werent). And we wont forget that it was also in major need of resurfacing, retiling, the cool decking was pulling away from the pool leaving large gaps, you couldnt fit a fence nicely around the pool without making it a major pain to get to the back yard, and most of all, i have more room for storing my toys now. im being conservative on my costs lol.
so you add all that up and within the year, ill have made my money back. My uncle and two guys i know well are pool guys and even my uncle giving me a good rate could only do it for 110 bucks a month.
all to only use 4 times a year.........why waste the money? by the time Erin and i had kids and they were old enough to play in the pool, ill be looking at a new house.
Not diggin at ya tony, just my veiw and justification to fill it in. i would much rather have the room to park both trailers behind the gate as well as my buggy and samurai. Specially now that erin wants her own samurai lol
