8. How much time is involved in maintaining my pool?

This is largely up to you and will depend on the level of automation you have included in your cleaning system. Most pool owners spend 1 - 2 hours weekly on pool maintenance, but that time can be reduced using automatic cleaners and modern chemicals.
