Probably costs as much as a pool but a lot cheaper in the long run and just as enjoyable

I have had three pools in houses I have owned and it almost ended in a divorce every time a pool was brought up about installing one in my current house. Keep in mind that you will not get your money out when you sell the house and it may even keep someone from buying it.

Do yourself a favor and look into a membership to the local Y.

If you stay on top of it, the maintenance time is not terrible, normally. I probably spend an hour a week total cleaning and testing water. Every so often i do a deep filter clean or some other extra maintenance and it obviously takes more time. Maintenance issues will arise and everything is expensive. I replaced a booster pump a couple years ago. It was $350 and that was me doing it myself. Calling someone out you can plan on at least a grand per trip to do repairs.

The cost of chemicals has more than doubled in just the last few years. It seems the prices spiked when covid shut down factories and made it hard to get chlorine and other chemicals and the companies never lowered the prices back. The biggest thing is, the cost of instillation has gone through the roof.

There are plenty of companies that will clean and maintain for you, but the quotes i've gotten are more than i'm willing to pay for something i can do myself.

I would guess the picture you posted is well over 150k to have built in todays climate where it would have been half that a few years ago.
