But you are still heating in cooler weather the earlier you open the pool. Average temperatures in Albuquerque for April are 71 and May is 80. Those few degrees could raise the annual heating cost from just under a hundred dollars to several hundred depending on your temperature setting. Most homeowners tend to open in mid to late May to keep the cost affordable. Karen – using a solar pool cover can lower heating costs substantially.

Our new house has one and I can't wait to open it, but my husband insists that no one opens their pool until late May. Are there any downsides to opening your pool in April if it has a solar heater?

They can be a source of great pleasure, but they do require a lot of maintenance. I make sure that my buyers are aware of the costs associated with owning a pool.

I actually expected the opposite. I think the thing that was most telling, is that anyone who had owned a pool in the past definitely didn't want another one.

You can also have bi-monthly service. To have the pool opened for the season runs $180-$300 and to close it runs about $250. The pool in the photo was maintained by Poolmasters and weekly cost was about $80 which included the chemicals. Those homeowners did nothing more then scoop out an occasional leaf. You can reach Poolmasters at 505-899-8677.
