Default pool/hottub monthly costs,

I'm moving into a new place next month, and the house has an indoor hottub/sauna and heated pool, just wondering if anyone had a rough estimate on what its going to cost me to run all this, i know its going to be expensive, but was hoping someone had a rough estimate, might have to turn the pool into a huge saltwater tank, bahha

Drain the pool in the summer and charge skateboarders to use it like a skate park, then use those funds to run the Pool/Pond in the winter.

You know kind of like Suicidal Tendencies video "Possessed To Skate"

You should be able to get a history of the bills from the city.

If you can afford a house with an indoor pool and hot tub in Calgary's market the cost of maintenance is probably pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.

Im getting a pool and a hot tub here shortly. the hot tub will run you around 30-40 bucks per month depending on warm you run it and use the bigger pressure rated for all the time.

THe pool will cost you Im deciding on going in ground or above ground. havent decided yet. the heaters used are 5000w -15000 w and it will cost your wallet around 100-200 to use in a month. now that is going to depend on the heater type the guy told me that you want your heater up around 87-91 F i told him to get stuffed i will try it with out a heater. i have my own ways to heat the pool.

Let one way is to run the intake thur a series of black hose on top of your house or a garage with a pressure pump. natural heating ...
