Maintenance really isn't that bad. I have a pool robot that I drop in 2 or 3 times a week. While I'm working in my shop.. or doing nothing at all, it's wandering the bottom of the pool picking up stuff. The extent of my chemical addition is, walk out at around 7 pm, pour in 1/2 gallon of chlorine, walk back in the house. Once or twice a week I check Chlorine and PH. Once or twice check to make sure stabilizer is right, check total alkalinity about once per season. I really don't spend much time on or even in the pool but my wife and kids do.
I figure building the dosing system just eliminates me walking out each nigh to add the chlorine. I don't get why people think a pool is so much effort and time?
