How much does a pool or hot tub cost to run: what to calculate before buying

The purchase price is only the first part of the decision. Before buying a pool or hot tub, calculate running costs: heating, filtration, water, chemicals, service, covers, winterisation and normal replacement parts.

What belongs in the budget

• electricity for pumps, heating, lighting and automation,
• water for filling, filter backwash and partial changes,
• sanitizer, pH correction, alkalinity and testing,
• filter cleaning, service checks and seasonal work,
• thermal cover, pool cover or enclosure,
• spare parts such as seals, cartridges, UV lamps, sensors or pumps.

The common mistake

Buyers compare equipment price but ignore insulation, cover efficiency, filtration cycles, spare-part costs and service access. A cheaper solution can be more expensive to operate.
