Participant[quote=sunny88][quote=jficquette][quote=qwerty007]$500 a month! That’s crazy. You don’t need to heat a pool in California. I thought the idea was to cool down. I’d tell my family, take it or leave it.[/quote]
I had a 30000 gallon pool. I heated it once in the spring and then let it settle to the average temp which was about 75 degrees. 75 degrees is too cold to enjoy for adults but kids can handle it.
It cost me about $250 a month to run the pumps plus another $100 a month to have a guy come clean it.
My neighbor had a smaller pool but kept it heated to 85 degrees. His said it cost him about $600 a month to keep it heated. He was a retired MD and had figured it out using the horsepower of the pump motors and applying the electric rates to it. He also figured out how much gas it took to heat it. With in reason that is. I am sure it wasn’t exact.
I will never get another pool. Just too expensive and wasteful for me.

[/quote]I would estimate that having a pool costs at least around $300 a month which includes water, gas, and maintenace.[/quote]
I would guess that you could call the power company and they could give you guidelines on what it costs to run a pool.
Since we are dealing with fluids going from a 30000 gal pool to a 15000 gal pool will cut the expenses way more then by half.

I meant they wouldn’t include the Republican idea because Obama prefered it going to lower income filers who don’t pay tax.
