Hello,

I hope this is the appropriate place to post on this topic. I am interested in purchasing a 18' x 48" easy-set metal-frame pool. Me and my wife want to use this pool for 2-3 years to see if we want the expenses/maintenance of a pool. My concerns are below:

1) Seems like there would be a tremendous amount pressure on the walls. How likely am I to end up with a Tsuami in my back yard? My neighbors don't like me anyway.

2) How long do these pools usually last?

3) Are they more difficult to maintain that a regular Hard-wall pool?

4) About how much money per month am I looking at for Chemicals?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Tom
