[quote=Anonymous]How recently did you put it in, and how long from idea to completion was the project?

2022; Met with builders in February, swimming in August.

Solar panels just for the pool? We have them on our house, but I assume you mean a separate array?

We have a a Natural Gas Heater.  I've never seen the solar pool heater you see on rooftops in Florida in the area.  I would not have a pool without a heater here.  Depending on the weather we get between 4-8 weeks of additional use each year being able to heat.  We typically open in April and close in October.

Could you share any ballpark figures about the annual maintenance costs?

We budget around $6K year; that's for opening/ closing and weekly maintenance & chemicals.  Long term maintenance items on the horizon include replacement of the salt cell, winter safety cover, and automatic cover.  Eventually all pools need to be replastered which is five figure project.  We haven't had to make any repairs but pumps, heater, lights certainly can break and need repair.

If you were doing it again, what would you do differently? (Lessons learned...)

Automatic Cover, Salt System, and Heater are worth every penny.  Water features/ bubblers/ etc. are a waste.
