Ask them..but if you can afford it ...DO IT! It is better to make sure you get what you want and not regret and try to add it on later. Pools settle and things are not the same.
They are a lot of work and expense...we had one for 25 years and we just filled it in two years ago. I am so relieved and so happy we did that. It was very expensive especially when the chlorine locked in. Man..sometimes it took over 2000 bucks of chemicals to get that unlocked and show a reading...and the water was beautiful and clear...and yet so unsafe no one could swim. It takes one to two weeks to get that cleared up.
Make sure they don't use lotion and make sure they wash their feet off when they go in. If they get anything like some kind of pesticide or something like that on their feet....you are in for one expensive week or two.
The neighbors would have their trees sprayed and taken care of and the air would drift it over into the pool....and we have three acres each...and that was it. It was horrible.
Lots of responsibility...and lots of expense......

What are the approximate costs for upkeep of an above ground pool?

My wife and I are looking at buying a house, and it comes with an above ground pool (Looks like about 15' x 30'. I've heard from a lot of people that the maintenance and upkeep of a pool is more expensive and time consuming than it's worth... but not one of the people I've heard that from has a pool. I know the insurance will be higher (Don't know how much, but I know it'll be higher)... but I don't know anything else. How much /month or /year is the cost of the chemicals and maintenance? How much time is involved in keeping it up? Thanks!
Answer
Total chemicals for an above ground pool in the snow belt should top $250 for the season. If you stay on top of the pool and test frequently this should really be $150. Testing takes 30 seconds and will tell you what to do if the water is not balanced. the more often you test and balance the cheaper the annual bill will be. If you attempt do maintain your pool once/ week you will have a few weeks when the water turns green. This will cost you $30-$50 and 2-4 hours of time to clean up the mess. If you and your wife are very busy people and cannot dedicate the time to test and balance you will have a nightmare. I tell my customers to test and balance chems every other day. If they have a party or itâs 100 degrees out then you want to do this daily. Cleaning the pool and filter will take you 1 hour per week (if you have many trees in your yard you may need to do this twice per week). Opening and closing a pool is very easy, however if you havenât done this pay somebody and watch!!!! We have hints about removing the cover without allowing the muck water to fall into the clean pool water. (roughly $175-$250)
I look at it two ways:
If you like the house but donât like the pool, tear it down; around Chicago the rate is $300- $700 for removal.
If you like it but cannot dedicate the time hire a svc company again in Chicago the rate is $35- $50 per weekly visit (this includes the cleaning).
Testing will take you ten times to understand fully (two weeks). All chemicals have instructions on the rear for the proper dosage.
The best product that will make your pool 50% less maintenance is an AUTOMATIC chemical feeder... this puts a constant amount of chlorine or bromine into your pool all the time. Most people screw up and water turns green because they forgot to add some chlorine... this way even if you forget to test a couple of days you know the pool is still having some chlorine added to it. These run between $50 and $100 installation is cake if you have a drill.
Good luck
