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?

Mainly because there’s a lot more to routine pool maintenance than what you are doing. I’ve had one for 22 years, so I’m well-versed in what a pain in the ass they can be. It’s mainly a decorative object now, I haven’t swam in it all year, the kids are long gone, etc. I have one dog that uses it as a water bowl and a place to cool off when it gets hot, which is probably the only use it gets.
My reply was mostly tongue-in-cheek, if you didn’t get the humor.
