Swim pool ongoing maintenance
Hola Amigos .
My wife and I are in the process of buying a lovely 3 bed casa hopefully completing in late April we are newbies to Spain but are looking forward to being part of the lovely community in the bennisa /calpe area.
The property we are buying has a pool and the current owners have a pool guy who comes once a week to clean the pool and administer the chemicals etc .
we only intend initially to use the house as a holiday home for us and our families this year so we won't be using the pool on a regular basis .
My questions are therefore as follows :-
Does the weekly visit by the pool guy seem excessive in our situation or is it necessary to keep the pool water in good condition?
Would anyone recommend us buying a pool cover as it hasn't got one at present if so what type is best and would this cut down on maintenance visits.
We aren't cheapskate people so will do what's best but don't want to pay for something we don't necessarily need .
Thank you in advance for your help guys and have a great day .
