2 more AG questions

[zebfam]

What would you say is your yearly cost to maintain/own your AG pool is.
We are in Pa so would only be using the pool a couple months a year

Also this may be a dumb question but I will ask anyway....

Does a 52" wall pool have to be filled all the way up? I really would like my daughter who is almost 6 (46 inches tall) to be able to stand in the pool and my husband said "maybe we can not fill it all the way". Figured I would ask

We run our pool from mid-May to the end of Sept. and it costs us approx. $200-400 per year. This includes chemicals, added electricity, and we always add some new "toys" to the mix!
As for filling up your pool, you have to maintain a certain water level or your skimmer basket will suck air. I have a 52" pool and the minimum water level that I must maintain before it sucks air comes to me just above my armpits (mid-chest, pec) and I'm 5'4" tall. Hope this helps!

I was also going to say about 300 dollars may to sept.
you will have to fill a 52" pool to a minimum of 46-47 inches since 46 is about 1" above the bottom of your skimmer. ANy air getting introduced can cause problems with your pump and circulation.
