Go for a pool with a pour over spa. The designers will explain what that is. I used our spa almost every night before going to bed.

Don’t get all uptight about the cost of heating the pool. I had five solar panels installed by Jack’s Solar (the best!). I never changed the temperature setting from 85 degrees. There was no additional gas cost for about eight months a year. Even during the coldest month or two it only cost about $200 per month over our normal natural gas bill. The solar alone would keep the pool temp between 70-75 degrees.

Go for it! Don’t get too uptight about incremental gas cost. Get solar and the total additional annual cost will in the range of only $1,000 or so. Easy decision for the enjoyment of a pool and spa.
