In a month my parents might go through a handful of chlorine tablets and a box of baking soda  Theirs is only a 25' round pool, but the cost must be linear with volume I would think.  They added shock in the spring.....which I think is just stronger chlorine.

It's hard to imagine $1000/month.


They do have to clean it a fair bit because seeds, leaves, and pine needles blow in from the nearby woods.

My sister in a former house had a large outdoor pool (20x40x8), Central Ohio.  I think she said they spent over $1000/month on chemicals during the summer.  When I'd go visit over the summer for a couple weeks, I spent several hours a week cleaning it.  And it takes a long time to top off the water lost to evaporation with a garden hose.  Not sure I'd get one myself without a cleaning/maintenance service, it could get out of had really quick.

    A customer of mine had a retracting glass roof over the pool area,
    that was pretty nice. The salt water pools are lower maintenance
    and healthier from what my friends that have them have told me.

        Another friend did a salt water pool due to supposedly low
        maintenance.  Not sure about that technology.
        Hmmmm.
        I have an elevation and a patio area that is conducive to
        being an outdoor extension of a pool deck.

            Put a roof on it and keep your home theater and gym in there.

            When we had one, it was used more for friends and family
            than we did for ourselves. We don't have one here, and I'm
            fine with that.

                Considering adding a pool to my home.
                Worth it?
                Desert Utah.
                Lots of blowing dust year around.
                Only 3-4 months of weather suitable for use.
                Would I use it much?
                I don’t use my home theater much.
                I don’t use my home gym much.
