Default Our Pool

We have what is considered a large pool for TV, 15x30. We love it and are in it every day. We can swim, exercise and float on rafts in it. Ours is chlorinated, but very gently. I do not notice the chlorine at all. T & D built this pool, 15 years ago, and have cared for it since. It looks brand new. We pay them $100 per month for maintenance. We have only owned this house since June, so I can't speak to long-term costs. Our electric bill for the entire house for June was $241, much less than we spent in NJ or Maine at this time of year. We were astonished. We have a solar blanket, but are not using it because the pool is currently maintaining a temperature of 82 degrees on its own. The pool and birdcage have a southeast exposure.
