I installed a pool at the end of 2007 & have a pool heater, that can run your bill up since it is equivalent to running your air conditioner; it is a salted pool and it runs $60 per month. Having a pool entails having the pool pump run daily from 5-8 hours, so that impacts your electric bill, but not as much as the heater would. It gets extremely hot in Florida and to me it is well worth the money.

Since it gets so hot in Florida, why would you need to heat your pool? I lived in NY for many years, and we never heated our pool.
What is a salted pool?

A lot depends on how you heat the pool and to what temp you like it. Personally I enjoy the temp at roughly 95 and with a heat pump, that will set you back a few hundred a month just for the elec portion.

A pool is a like a boat. Great when you first have it and you enjoy it a lot ! Then the novelty wears off and you don't use it anymore and it just sits there.

Our pool will never sit there after the initial installation at least in this household. Why would anyone spend from $30k plus just for cosmetic reasons & not use it. In Central Florida, we do get cooler temperatures and that is why we had a heater installed for the off season. Salt takes alot less chemicalization than Chorline & is so much better on your suits/body. Have had both & would never go back to a chorline pool again.

GoodToGo,
Thanks for answering my question about a salted pool. Does it actually have salt water running through the filter system? If you can use less chlorine, that sounds better. I thought the gulf side in central Florida it was still pretty warm in the winter. I guess there are times when you still get cooler temps. - Thanks
