IMHO, I would say the latter. Buy a good FAS-DPD test kit and measure all these things yourself. The $60-$80 it costs you will be far, far cheaper than the service. Take 2-5 minutes a day to test and adjust your water and you'll wonder why you EVER used a service. Splurge on a robotic automatic pool cleaner and you'll never need a service again.
