Had a pool for 15 years. Usual maintenance costs were around $100 -$125 a month. Had to replace pump motor every 3 years(around $300). Pool was 13k gallons. Had a screen enlcosure and cost to re screen was 5k. Depending on conditions, they can last 10 years. Look into salt water pool. Chlorine costs have almost doubled in past year. Had a pool sweep/vacuum. They are good for about 3 years and cost $400+/-. Did not have heater. We lived in S. Florida. Too cold for us November-April.
Cost of new pools have gone out of sight and we can not blame shipping problems in West Coast ports. Pool cost is mostly labor concrete and steel(re-bar)
Enjoy.
