I think it's easier when you have a large pool as well. There are people using 
both more often so it's easier to remember to do the chemical thing and to 
believe it needs to be done. To do all that for 3-5 people who only use it 
occasionally is harder.

Kids using it also helps. Easier to convince people that things need to be safe 
when kids are involved. The people who use ours don't have children in 
residence and children can't use it alone (obviously).
