Surely, it can\u2019t be as pricey as maintaining an in-ground swimming pool, but it\u2019s a great idea to have an estimation of this cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E95\">In this article, we\u2019ll answer this question in depth to help you see the whole picture before you invest in an above-ground pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E97\"><strong>Our Guide To The Average Cost of Upkeeping an Above Ground Pool<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E99\">Before we discuss how much the maintenance of an above-ground pool will cost you, let&#8217;s talk about the cost of the pool itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E99\">Luckily, an above-ground pool can range from $200 to $2,000. Wondering why there\u2019s such a huge price difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E101\">Well, it all depends on several factors that have an impact on the price. These common above ground swimming pool factors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The size of the pool<\/li><li>Construction materials<\/li><li>Pool type<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E109\">For instance, inflatable pools are the most affordable type of above ground pools because they don\u2019t include expensive structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E111\">On the other hand, some pools have steel and aluminum construction because they\u2019re meant to be permanent. Naturally, these pools tend to be the most expensive and often the longest-lasting, of all of the above-ground swimming pool types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E113\">Now, what about the maintenance cost of an above-ground pool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/above-ground-pool-upkeep.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-841\" width=\"528\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/above-ground-pool-upkeep.jpg 920w, https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/above-ground-pool-upkeep-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/above-ground-pool-upkeep-768x668.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E115\"><strong>How Much Does It Really Cost Each Year to Maintain an Above-Ground Pool?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E117\">When compared to the maintenance costs of a regular swimming pool, maintaining an above-ground pool may seem insignificant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E119\"><strong>On average, you might find yourself spending only about $250 a year on maintenance if you don\u2019t hire a professional cleaning service.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E119\">Sometimes, it could be a bit more depending on what exactly you\u2019ll be doing. Let\u2019s break that number down for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E123\">Swimming Pool Chemicals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E125\">First, you\u2019ll need to purchase the right <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/chemicals-for-above-ground-pool\/\">chemicals to keep your above ground swimming pool clean<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E127\">You\u2019ll probably use chlorine or bromine, which will cost you about $10 to $15 each month. If your pool is on the small side, you might only need from $5 to $10 of chemicals a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E135\">Therefore, the chemicals you\u2019ll need to get for your pool might cost you from $100 to $150 a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E137\">Filters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E139\">You won\u2019t have to worry about replacing filters if your pool is inflatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E141\">However, if you\u2019re purchasing a ring pool or a framed pool, you\u2019ll have to change the filters that they come with to dispose of any <a is=\"qowt-hyperlink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org.au\/curious\/everything-else\/swimming-pool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bacteria in the water<\/a>. So, how much will you spend on these filters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E146\">Typically, the pool filters might cost you from $15 to $50 on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E148\">Saltwater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E150\">When you first buy a large above-ground pool, you\u2019ll need a saltwater system with a water pump that might cost you from $200 to $400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E152\">To keep that system in perfect shape, you\u2019ll probably have to spend from $5 to $10 per month for its maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E154\">Thus, you can expect to pay from $100 to $120 every year to ensure that your <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/best-pool-pump\/\">swimming pool pump<\/a> is keeping your pool free from harmful microorganisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E159\">If your yearly maintenance is limited to the previous duties, you might end up paying only $200 or $250 annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E161\">Yet, there might be some additional costs if you choose to hire a cleaning service to take care of the liner and exterior of the pool. This might cost you $100 per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E163\">Some pool owners prefer to clean their pools themselves to save some cash. While this is a good plan, it usually means they\u2019ll have to wash their pools every weekend, which may not be an option for a busy person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E165\"><strong>What Are Other Costs When Buying an Above-Ground Swimming Pool?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E167\">Besides the purchase, installation, and maintenance costs of these pools, you\u2019ll end up paying more for other things. You\u2019ll need to put these costs into account, too, if you\u2019re serious about buying an above-ground pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E169\">Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E171\">Many insurance companies consider an above-ground pool to be an <a is=\"qowt-hyperlink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nationwide.com\/lc\/resources\/home\/articles\/attractive-nuisances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attractive nuisance<\/a>. Therefore, your insurance premium can go higher by $75 or more each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E176\">Of course, this depends on where you live. For instance, if you reside in a rather warm state like California, your insurance premium may not grow to an uncomfortable degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E178\">Yet, if you\u2019re living in a state with a colder climate, most insurance companies there won\u2019t automatically include the pool in your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E180\">Getting a Permit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E182\">Again, based on where you\u2019re staying, the cost of a permit will vary greatly. Ultimately, some cities may not require you to get a permit for your pool, but the majority of them will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E184\">On average, the cost of a swimming pool&#8217;s permit can start from $150 all the way to $300. To know exactly how much you\u2019ll be paying for a permit, your best bet is to contact your local government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E186\">Buying a Pool Cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E188\">If you\u2019re investing in a permanent above-ground pool, you\u2019ll most likely need a cover to protect it against the elements. During the off-season, you\u2019ll have to make sure that no debris will fall into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E190\">Also, a cover is an important safety measure to have if your children are small to prevent them from accidentally falling inside the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E192\">Depending on the size of the pool, the price of a cover could range from $100 to $300. For those who want a more premium option, you can go for a sun dome or a <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/best-solar-cover-for-inground-pools\/\">solar swimming pool cover<\/a>. These might cost you $1,000, if not more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"E194\"><strong>The Bottom Line on How Much It Costs To Maintain A Above Ground Swimming Pool<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E196\">So what&#8217;s the quick, to-the-point answer to &#8216;How much does it cost to maintain an above-ground pool?&#8217; You may ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E199\">Well, after reading our article, you\u2019ll know that you might end up spending from $200 to $250 per year if you maintain the pool yourself. If you use the help of a professional, that price can go up considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E201\">Therefore, it\u2019s all a matter of finding out what works best with your budget. Once you do, you can have a better estimation of how above ground pool maintenance will cost you each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Above-ground pools can be great substitutes for typical swimming pools because they&#8217;ll cost you much less.

I enjoy all water related sports, being part of the online swimming pool community and always learning new things!","sameAs":["https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.o.white.3\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nickw816\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nick-white-seo\/"],"url":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/author\/aap-administr\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=837"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2470,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837\/revisions\/2470"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutpools.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
