Had one for over 20 years. Got a new one a few years ago. Now they come with all fancy jets, ozonater and colored disco lights Just need to get rid of the old one and put the new one in the corner. Look its motorcycle riding weather. Old spa is at ground level, new spa is portable. May sink it a bit though.

I've been steering clear of properties with pools so far but if the upkeep etc. isn't too bad, I might revisit that decision. Main thing is the extra cost for power (aprox $1000 per year) to run the pump, which equates to aprox $20 a week give or take my pump runs for for 4 hours per day. If you have a creepy crawly, then they basically look after themselves. on top of the power is the chemicals, but I can't really put a price on that one cos I've never kept track of it. I would go to the pool shop about once a month in the swimming season for water testing and would sometimes spend up to $50. but sometimes I spend nothing cos pool water is good. During the winter I only go for a water test about every 2 months most of the time its only a bit of acid that gets added which I buy at bunnings for $15 for 5 litres. I love my pool and I love looking after it so its not a PITA for me you just cant beat a swim in your own back yard on a 30+ day photo of 30+ day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
