What are the ongoing costs of pool ownership?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Owning a pool costs $1,500 to $4,000 per year in New Jersey. Costs include chemicals at $300 to $800 per season, increased water and electricity bills of $500 to $1,200, insurance premium increases of $50 to $200, repairs and maintenance of $300 to $800, and winterization and opening of $200 to $500. You should also budget for major repairs like a new liner every 8 to 12 years costing $3,000 to $6,000.

Why It Matters

The ongoing costs of pool ownership add up quickly. Budgeting for them upfront prevents financial surprises and ensures your pool stays in good condition.
