Angie, your welcome. I found my spread sheet with the annual cost. These are the average for 4 years with our rental home average costs deducted from each cost to try to get close to what was the incremental cost for the pool. Example, if our electric bill is $140 and rental home is $90, I attribute $50 that month for the pool.
T&D weekly maintenance $1170 a year
Electric difference due to pool pump, $325 for the year.
Gas for pool heater. Dec, Jan and Feb mostly. $875 for the year, but I keep mine pretty warm in the winter.
Water as you need to add a lot every week, $225 for the year
Maintenance, pool pump big expense (two in 4 years, first one was $300, second 3 years later was $1500 do to federal variable speed motor requirement), deck painting, new pool light, heater service call, one solar leak, and probably something I missed. $1275
Total average for 4 years. $3870. I stll budget the $5000 as I am sure at some point there will be another unexpected high cost item.
