    Baka po meron sa inyong may swimming pool sa bahay, tanong ko lang po para magka idea kung mas mahal pa maintenance sa kotse.

    1. size ng pool nyo (or someone you know who has one);
    2. cost ng maintenance monthly (rough estimate)

    Plano kasing pagawa sa bahay kahit 4 x 8 meters lang eh.

    Salamat po.

    It's a white elephant. Build only if someone uses it daily otherwise cheaper to just install a jacuzzi.

    I'd go for the jacuzzi as well or a continuous/endless pool.

    Mag-build ka ng Jacuzzi pool, parang sa exhange regency hotel sa tapat ng PSe, masarap, mainit, ambubbles, therapeutic

    mas mura pumunta sa water spa, sports club, resort. swimming pool pag nagsawa ka na it will become 1 big mosquito breeding pool. or, maging fish pond. sabagay malaki market for cat fish.

    You can always convert the jacuzzi into a fish spa.

    Agree here. It may be more feasible to get a membership at a local club or resort club. You also have to include the pool as an improvement on the property tax dec AFAIK.

    Thanks guys, all inputs are really appreciated.

    Ang reason kasi sana:
    1. it might add value sa bahay pag time to sell;
    2. the nephews/niece can use it as well when visiting;
    3. yung panahon sa atin sobra init, so rather than go out malling, mag swimming na lang;

    Pero based sa mga sinabi nyo, parang hindi nga practical, akala ko once a month lang maintenance at yun eh palit tubig at lagay lang ng chlorine to sanitize? Di po ba ganon lang yun, the simplest maintenance that I can do?

    You can do with changing water even for half a year basta daily ang filtration dumatakbo at twice a week vacuum & chemicals ( chlorine & acids). If you can do it your self, even cheaper than renting someone to do it as all you have to buy are the chemicals. The most expensive part will be the filtration dahil electric motor and overall change of water once every week, monthly , half a year or quarterly or yearly even. The frequency will depend on population of usage, water ph. If just a few ang gagamit basically family use, the longer you can make use of the water.

    The practicality side is for you to decide and i'm talking through experience here. I got 2 pools.

    Thank you sir, this will really help sa assessment ko on pros and cons, specifically the cost of maintenance.

    To those saying na white elephant yun pool well it depends on what stage in your life you're in. When I was in HS and early part of college utilized yun pool, but yun brother ko nightout and beach outing ang trip nya so di nya nagagamit. Now naman ako naman ang di gumamit. But brother's kids naman ang gumagamit, natuwa naman parents ko seeing their apos learning how to swim and playing around.

    ako meron 120 x 72 x 22 inch inflatable swimming pool...

    weekly replaced and cleaned ang pool if you dont use it, if you use it, flush agad at replace ang water

    4 hours average to drain and 4 hours to fill up

    water cost at 1700 litters

    kaya mas sulit pa mag ace water spa

    nabuhay ulit desire ko na magpagawa, pero INDOOR pool, para hindi exposed sa araw, lamok at palaka.

    plano ko twice a year lang operational at ide drain ang tubig at tatakpan ng trapal para hindi mag crack ang tiles, kahit indoors sya, magkano kaya ang maintenance pag ganito ang set up?

    Your saving will be electricity cost & chemicals + less labor. So say in 12 months , use mo lang cya ng 2 months & say 1.5K/mo cost , so your only looking at 3K total not to include water cost.

    Ang added cost mo lang is the construction to enclose it and the only saving is almost zero ang evaporation rate ng tubig + sunblock.
