They bankrupt you? I take care of my own pool and it costs me About $300 a year between filter, chemicals and cleaning supplies. If I amortize the cost of a new pump I guess I could add $250 a year. I cant imagine $550 a year or even $1,000 bankrupting anyone. If money is that tight it might be time to sell the house with the pool. realize the gains then buy something more economical.
