[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 66627, member: 324"] I'm going to pretend to be an adult and ignore the comments about handjobs. First, you need to ask yourse.. Haha, can't help myself. Funny posts up there!! Srsly, I have a 6 person in the back yard, and use it nearly every single night. The only time I don't, is maybe a few nights in August, when it's still hot at night. Two pumps are better than one, to be sure. And the 5HP pumps, 208-230/460VAC 3PH are $600-ish. So they are a pretty good part of the expense. That being said, they also are repairable, if the need arises. In Bismarck, having a seal changed is about $100. Far and away the most common reason a pump would fail. Chemicals do add up, but in the relaxation scheme of things, I don't see them as terribly important. Cloudy water can often be cured by dumping water (not all of it of course) and replacing. "The solution to pollution is dilution". Regarding the cost to own - is $35 a month too much? I don't think so. I used to spend a lot more than that "relaxing" at the bar. Lastly, a good cover is worth every penny. If snow melts off the cover, or frost won't form on it, you're losing too much heat. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] The "gay" only lingers in them as long as the homeowner doesn't say "guywhofishes, it's time for you to go home". Now I'M just funnin'.
