A pool is like having a child

They are expensive to have, they're expensive to feed and keep clean, you can't leave them alone for more than three days at a time, and the only way to get rid of them is to move. If you can get past that than I think the answer is an unqualified yes. I wouldn't be without one. Don't expect it to add one dollar to the worth of your home though.

Keep Your Pool Clean With A Pool Maintenance Schedule?

Proper maintenance is important if you have a pool. Without proper maintenance, a pool can become unsanitary and even unsightly. If you have too much chlorine in your pool, your eyes may burn; if you do not use shock, algae may develop in your pool. An improperly maintained pool can also cost you money as well as time. For these reasons, it is important to properly maintain your pool. One of the best ways to maintain your pool is to create a maintenance schedule. Your local pool supply store should be able to help you with this, or you can find sample schedules on the internet. According to the schedule, you should check the chemical levels on a daily basis. Some chemicals, including shock will need to be added weekly. Your maintenance schedule will vary depending upon your climate as well as the amount of swimming that you do in the pool.

How much does it cost to upkeep a swimming pool that is very large?

"Very large" is just to vague of a question. There are too many factors to consider other than the size of the pool such as: Exactly how large, how many gallons of water? What part of the country is the pool located? (Florida is year round maintenance, where the north would be seasonal maintenance) What type of equipment would be on the pool? ( you can pay more upfront to have energy efficient equipment) You can also do it your self or have chemical automation controls which would have to be factored in as well.

Is there a Florida law that that determines the hours of operation for a pool in a condominium community?

All condominiums -- private democracies -- operate under a set of governing documents. You can read yours (CC&Rs and By-laws, plus any board resolutions) to better understand the rules that govern your condominium pool in Florida. The Florida condominium law serves as a template for all condominiums in the state. Your governing documents are particular to your community, and they are based on Florida law. If your governing documents do not define pool operations, you can hire a Florida association-savvy attorney to help you interpret the Florida law that may apply to pool operations.
