Are infinity pools hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Infinity pools do require slightly more maintenance than other pools because you’ll need to constantly monitor the water level. If the water level is out of whack, it won’t correctly flow over the edge, which gives the pool its infinity look. </p><p>That said, the rest of the maintenance is largely dependent on the type of material you choose. Concrete needs a little extra care to prevent algae growth, and you will eventually need to resurface it. Fiberglass and vinyl liners are algae-resistant but they’re not as durable.</p></div>

Did what I asked except that paid for a deck made of aluminum that wasn’t supposed to leak on my patio below. The deck leaks at each rain, called to have someone to come a check it, promised they would come. No one showed up and never got a call bac. Very disappointed
