What's different about Florida
Florida pools run year-round with essentially no true off-season, aside from rare frost in the northern Panhandle. Hurricane season is the single biggest disruption most owners plan around, and heavy, near-daily summer rain plus salt-air exposure in coastal areas both push chlorine demand and equipment maintenance higher than almost anywhere else in the country.
How common are pools in Florida?
