Pool...like a pet that won't die!
We have a pool. We travel quite a lot and are away as much as 2 months every fall. We hire a pool service because of this. It is $135 a month for weekly treatments and cleaning. It's lovely to look at and we use it occasionally. We are both in pools almost every day but not our own. My husband is a water volleyball addict and I enjoy water fitness classes. So....it depends on how much you actually plan to use it. Your electric bill spikes a lot of you want to heat it in cool weather so we don't use it then. Think it over before you add one. Many people have them and don't use them much and would not build one again. Others save money by servicing it themselves but it needs weekly treatments and cleaning.
QUOTE=TheVillagesYoungster;2441909]I was doing some research to see if adding a pool and spa increases the value of your home as much or more than the cost of the pool. My conclusions were inconclusive. Does the forum have any evidence or suggestions on where to search for better results?[/QUOTE]
