Pool Maintenance between guests

Hey all, getting ready over the next month to close and begin furnishing my unit.  Big thanks to everyone for being instrumental in helping me build templates and be very prepared to get right off on the ground running.

One issue I've been having trouble figuring out how to automate is how to clean the pool or do maintenance on it between guests.  Currently the place has a vacuum that is on a timer.  If I leave the timer on it most likely becomes way too much of a nuisance for guests to take it out or put it back in so I assume I'll simply leave it out.  It is a salt water pool that will need to have some salt added (I am not even sure how it all works w/ a salt water cell generator etc), but will learn when I close.  

For those who own places with a pool, do you have a person come between all guests when the cleaners come to skim the pool and perform slight maintenance?  Do you ask the guests to skim the pool and have the cleaners check and perform the task for a little extra if needed?  Do you train the cleaners to maybe handle the quick maintenance on it?
