I would guess that a lot of your cost is in gas heat and service. In almost 4yrs of living in this house we have spent between $1,500 - $1,800 per year to maintain our pool/spa. From April to October the pool water temp is generally at least 85 and we rarely use the heater except for the spa. Using a salt system we chose to do our own service which saves us a lot.
