I have a kidney shaped salt water pool in my CYV. I'm up north for the summer. I pay $22.50 to T&D per week when I'm not there. That takes care of cleaning and chemicals. My July electric bill was $55.62. That's running the 1 HP pool pump and keeping the house at 54% humidity and an exhaust fan in the garage that runs in the afternoon. I have solar heat and added 2 extra panels so it does a decent job during the colder months. When I'm there I take care of the pool myself. The chemicals run me about $5 a month. The pool sits under a bird cage so it stays relatively clean. My latest water bill says I used $.05 worth of water. My pool is only 3 years old so no major repairs have been made. I feel it is very affordable and well worth the expense.
