How Much Does a Pool Cost to Maintain?

0020

Are pool costs keeping you from owning your own personal pool? Pool maintenance costs are not exorbitant and can be kept to a minimum. With Anthony & Sylvan, pool maintenance is simple and cost effective.

Factors that Affect Pool Costs

While all pools require some maintenance costs, there are several ways to lower the amount you need to spend on pool maintenance. Some of the factors that can contribute to the cost it takes to maintain an in ground pool include:

  • Pool Type. Concrete and fiberglass pools differ in their maintenance fees. Both require significantly less repairs than vinyl pools due to their strength and durability. Concrete pools typically have a long lifespan, and require few repairs. They may require a resurfacing which can range between $3,500 and $12,000+ depending on the size, finish and condition of the pool. Fiberglass pools may need repair over the years, but they also offer algae resistance, which requires fewer chemicals to be added on a routine basis.
  • Pool System. The cost of chemicals will depend on the type of pool system. Typically, saltwater systems and traditional chlorine chemicals cost between $200-$800 yearly, depending on the size of the pool, use of the pool and length of time the pool is open during the year.
  • Amount of Usage. The amount of time your pool is used during the year affects the cost of pool maintenance. Pools that are open year-round typically require more chemicals and take on more wear and tear than those open solely during the warm months. Pumps and motors may also need occasional repair, depending on how often they are used. Replacing a pump or motor generally costs between $600-$1300. A pump & motor have varying life spans based on maintenance and hours of operation – typically anywhere from 5 to 15 years.
  • Size. Smaller pools often have lower pool costs. Small pools require less chemicals to keep the water clean and safe for swimming.
  • Features. Depending on which features you may have in your in ground pool, repairs and replacements for those features may create added costs. These costs should be occasional, not recurring, especially if the features are high-quality, well-built and maintained. Replacing a pool cleaner or vacuum generally costs $300-$1,900 depending on the type of cleaner. Average repair costs vary but generally range from $0-$500 annually, depending on the type of repairs needed, if at all.
