What's different about Hawaii

There is no closing season in Hawaii at all; pools run year-round in a warm, humid, salt-air environment that accelerates corrosion on pumps, heaters, and metal fixtures faster than on the mainland. Importing chemicals and replacement equipment typically costs more due to inter-island and ocean shipping, which is worth budgeting for.

How common are pools in Hawaii?

In-ground pools are less common than in mainland Sun Belt states given high construction costs and abundant natural ocean swimming, but the ones that exist never shut down for winter.
