Idk but we just had ours replastered. That was $$.
We really don’t spend much I don’t think — my husband takes care of it. Strips. Clorox every week. Cooper bar once a year (that about $150).

3 years in… probably a few hundred annually. Acid, salt, baking powder… not much else. Variable speed pump sips electricity and I use the heater sparingly since I prefer it cooler.

My first year with this salty. 7500 gallons and a fairly big spa.. Im buying salt, acid, baking soda, stabalizer and cleaning tools.
The pool company gave me a pole, a net and a brush with our purchase. The brush is kinda cheap, I am about to replace that. My pool is in a pool cage so I dont get big debris in it. I bought a net with a much finer mesh so I could get smaller particles out of it. I also bought a nozzle to help clean the filter.
I also bought a taylor test kit and a digital meter that reads PH and Free Chlorine.
I will probably spend about $500-$750 this year getting things all set up. I expect the chemicals to be $300 a year? Salt and Acid mostly. We get so much rain here, it dilutes the salt. Fortunately it is cheap.
I assume my pool runs about $100/month in electricity and we will run the heater from November to the first of April here in southwest Florida. Plus whater hot tub time we use it
If I add all that up, my guess it the pool cost us $2000-2500/year. Electricity, gas and supplies plus adding water

About $500-$700 averaged out over an extended period of time. Ours is 12 years old, 40k gallons, salt system. In theory all we should be buying is salt, however, it never fails around springtime something breaks and we have to replace it whether it be the salt cell, pump, timer, dolphin, etc. I guess it’s just the age of the equipment, for example our sand filter split into last year and we had to replace that. Salt cell is on a 3 year replacement it seems and that is around $400-$500 by itself. Still wouldn’t trade it for anything on these hot afternoons in south louisiana. Just don’t be fooled into the sale people, saying get a salt system and you won’t have any issues.

About $300 for 130 lb of cal hypo (grey market). Maybe $300 for electric. Maybe $100 in water on average. $30 for stabilizer. $20 in baking soda. Haven’t had to adjust ph at all after lining with 2 part epoxy.
Need to spend $20-50k to refurb at some point.
Also another $100 in Polaris 360 parts yearly,
