Our pool was installed in 2006 and we bought the home in 2009. So far, am on the third pump motor, pool light, gas pool heater control panel, couple other minor issues with a valve. Have had pool deck painted twice. T&D does everything so far. Have had a couple solar panel leaks but Jack's Solar installed those and so far repairs have been free. Pool is 12 X 28, just about the right size. I would add a spa if building it.
I budget 5K a year for the pool and even with all the maintenance issues has always been below that. Pools are not cheap. It increases your water, gas, and electric bill. So far I would do it again if I was building new or buying I would want one or room to add one.
