How much does a pool cost to maintain?
Owning a pool means ongoing costs. Here's what to budget for maintenance and running.
Annual maintenance costs
Expect a few thousand dollars a year for chemicals, energy, cleaning and equipment, plus periodic repairs.
What drives the cost
Pool size, type (salt vs. chlorine), local energy rates and whether you hire a service all affect the annual total.
Budgeting tips
Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs. A good cover and energy-efficient pump can lower running costs.
