My wife and I are thinking about adding a pool to the backyard. There's plenty of space and three kids, but we're unsure of what size pool would be best. We don't want something too small, but at the same time, we want something that is easy to maintain and attractive to anyone who may wish to buy our home in the future (I move every five years or so for my job). What size pools do people usually buy? I'm going to head down to the pool store this afternoon and ask, but I'd like a second opinion.

Think about your eyes... If you do it at least wear goggles. I would talk to your local pool store. That much chlorine could be harsh on your skin. Part of the reason why they recommend such a low Fc level is in case someone, especially a child, accidentally swallows in some water.
