You need to look at all the costs, not just the pool service. I use T&D and they cost $22 a week. However electric cost between house with a pool and one without, is about another $100 a month because your running the pump 8 to 10 hours a day. Then there is usually some type of service required. Pool light, pool heater, tile replacement, painting the lanai surface with non slip paint every 3 years, additional taxes, and probably a couple others I forgot. Then why have a pool unless you heat it? Gas bill in the winter can go to $400 a month. So my annual cost is somewhere close to $6000, or about $500 a month. However so far worth every penny.
