Moreover, how hard is it to take care of an above ground pool?

Above ground pool maintenance is a lot like car maintenance, a “pay me now, or pay me [more] later” type of thing. If your cleaning, chemistry or circulation is off-target, you can develop water problems and pool liner issues, which can be expensive to correct.
