I'm a newbie and want to buy a Reallyezpool, the 7'x12' for lap swimming. I have yet to see anything about this Above Ground Pool on any forums. We used to have a spa for my husband's back issues and he hardly ever used it and/or maintained the chemicals. This has made him skeptical about my motivation to maintain a pool given the $1500 price. We have a very narrow lot too and I thought about trying an 12' Intex pool although it would encroach our walkway. Comments and ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
