Calgary Houses With Pools - Are They Worth The Effort?

Some people would say yes they are worth it while others would quickly disagree. The question really is whether you have the time to put into the pool maintenance or is it really too much of a hassle for you?

To best answer this question take an honest look at how many times you plan on using this pool. If you are going to be using it 2 - 3 times per week then it may very well be worth the effort to upkeep it. If not, you might want to reconsider looking for Calgary luxury homes with pools.

Part of the maintenance includes regularly checking the chlorine levels, vacuuming the bottom of the pool and skimming the surface for debris. There will be times when filters need to be cleaned and pumps need to be replaced. All of these things require both time and money and need to be taken seriously. If money isn't an issue and you can afford to hire a pool maintenance service then maintenance won't be a problem.

Another thing to consider is whether you’ll want to keep the pool clean using chlorine or by using more natural methods. You can use salt as an alternative, but all of these maintenance methods require constant upkeep. It really doesn't take long for a pool to turn green if left unkept.

The other thing to take into consideration is the resale value. You will not have as many interested buyers when selling Calgary houses with pools and this may turn into a potential problem later on. If you don't plan on staying in the home too long it may be better to avoid a pool until you are set up permanently and ready to handle the constant upkeep required.
