Expect to pay $60–$180/month for above-ground pools and $90–$250/month for in-ground pools. Total yearly costs typically run $720–$3,000+.
Swimming pool chemistry involves pH (7.2-7.6), alkalinity (80-120 ppm), calcium hardness (200-400 ppm), chlorine (1-3 ppm), and TDS (below 1500 ppm).
Unbalanced pool pH can cause skin irritation, algae growth, and damage to your system. Maintain pH between 7.2–7.8 for clear, healthy, and safe water.
