I use an Aqualux system. For the last three years I have done nothing but keep the pH level balanced. Very easy.

Finally a few tips for effective pool care:
Dust, leaves and debris blown in by the wind quickly spoil the look of a pool, while the suntan oils, make-up, sweat from the constant use of swimmers escaping the heat, also mar the purity of the water.
Firstly, clean all the leaves and debris out of the leaf traps both in the weir and the sludge trap, because if water cannot flow to the filter, it cannot be filtered.
Do a good backwash. To get the filter reasonably clean one must backwash for at least 3 minutes followed by a 1 minute rinse. If backwash was not done for a couple of weeks, repeat this process twice.
The next step is to carry out the necessary water tests and correct pH if necessary. It is important to remember that correctly balanced water creates an unfavourable environment for bacteria to grow in.
Next, water level. The water level of the pool should be checked regularly. Dirt and leaves will not skim off into the weir if the level is not correct. If the water level sinks more rapidly than experienced with normal evaporation the pool floor and walls should be checked for cracks.
If an automatic pool cleaner is used it should not run continuously. It is just a water vacuum cleaner and therefore should only be used when the floor and the walls of the pool are dirty. The top 25cm (approx. 10 inches) of water is the area where bacteria flourishes and this water will not be filtered if the
cleaner is continuously in use.
Leaves and debris, not skimmed automatically because the pool cleaner is in constant use, become waterlogged and drop to the floor of the pool. Most pool cleaners have a pulverising action and when the debris is sucked up it becomes a sludge which dirties the filter sand much more quickly.
It is essential to run the filter for at least eight hours every day.
With an automatic pool cleaner this should be increased to twelve hours because of the restricted water flow through the pool cleaner and hoses.

Answer
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......
