They're pretty easy to maintain. Filter will take care of most stuff (spray it down with a hose in most models after a few days to clean it out). Will need a strainer to get out the leaves, and maybe a little sweeper thing that should hook up to your filter to clean the bottom if there's dirt there (should look into that a little more, some may not be compatible with your set-up). Technically for those rubber ones you're not really supposed to keep them up for a long period of time, and should empty them out every once in a while, or when not in major use. Atleast thats what they say on the side. The ones with metal sides are probably your best bet, they're more secure tot he ground and are safer from animals trying to destroy it, and it is also better if you have a dog or cat that may want to jump in so they dont fuck it up. For something that small you wont need much chlorine, maybe a half a scoop if you get the granulated at night, or one-1 1/2 little round things on a little floaty doo-jammer that you can keep floating around whenever (tho i would take it out if you go "swimming")
They're ok, i guess. Many people think they'll do more swimming than they'll actually do when they have a pool. But you live in a desert so you'll probably be in there quite often, so go for it.
