An Endless Pools Thank You

Lainey, My comments aren't concrete but more general as to when I did pricing. I would have loved a 25 meter lane pool myself but my backyard is not that big. I did look at a regular standard in-ground pool vs. Endless Pool. The regular in-ground pool is cheaper I believe, but other factors I considered: - Endless Pool is very cheap to run. My utilities went up minimally and I'm in a cold winter spot. I was pleasantly surprised running the gas optional heater only increased my gas bill marginally. My pool is installed outside and 1/2 of it is above ground. Heating a regular pool in my case would be extremely high in the winter and I wanted year round use of the pool. - Endless Pool maitenance is easy. I add 1 1/2 cup of bleach (yes, household bleach) every 3 to 4 days. That's it for chemicals. It's amazing. The actual level of chemicals it needs is about 1/6 or less compared to a regular pool so there's really no chlorine smell and my swim suits last a lot longer. I clean the filter every 6 months. I clean the pool (vacuum, wipe around the edges, etc.) about every 8 to 10 weeks. - I think a regular pool cost of utilities and chemicals is much more expensive. All that being said, if I lived in a warm climate with a large backyard where I could fit a 25 meter in-ground pool with a deep diving end I would have done that. But given my constraints and that I have a great 50 meter competition pool less than a mile from my house to also train in, the Endless Pool is good for me. Hope that helps.... Dan
