I think it was Ben who found that A/G pool owners tend to get far more use ON AVERAGE than I/G pool owners. I/G pool owners don't have much choice--filling in a pool is expensive, so they maintain it, even if they don't use it. But A/G owners, if they don't use their pool, they get rid of it in a New York Minute. It's just not that hard to take down a circular or oval A/G. Some rectangulars (like Splash) come down really quickly as well.

I still think that $5000 for an 18' round AG is excessive unless most of that is in prepping a level area.
