Pools cost money.
As a pool owner you must not only have the disposable income to buy the pool, but your must have the disposable income for the maintenance, wear-and-tear, repairs, and other reasons that your pool will require you to spend your money.
There will be fixed seasonal expenses every year the pool is used. There will be variable expenses that may or may not be required each pool season. There will be future considerations.
Some costs are expenses. Other costs are investments, such as a variable speed pump, a salt generator, automation, (automation with a built-in salt generator), an automatic pool cleaner, an automatic pool cover, and our Pool Manual.
Pools cost money...end of story...period.
