Yeah, energy prices are ever on the rise, which makes it hard if you wanted to heated your pool. Plus, here in Oz you lose a ton of water from evaporation (around 60,000 L per year - https://pooladvisor.com.au/blog/pool-evaporation-rate-calculator) which means you can't refill your pool easily if you are under water restrictions.

I know this is an old topic, but it's worth reminding anyone that's thinking of getting a pool that while they are fantastic if you use them often (especially if you have kids), but they are also a decent bit of work. Skimming leaves, vacuuming, balancing pool chemicals and more is required on a weekly basis.
