Wife and I am are in the process of getting bids for pools, but my question surrounds companies that come and maintain your pool. I have a number of friends that have pool maintenance companies come and clean their pools, they tell me they can't purchase the products for what these guys charge to do it weekly. I have no problem doing it myself, but if what my friends say is true then I may go that route. Any thoughts on pool maintenance and doing yourself compared to someone doing it for you.
