"David and his team exceeded expectations. The new deck is better quality than the original one and included rails around perimeter and pool area. They even put cement under the stairs that was missing from original deck. They came in on budget and on time. Very friendly, responsive and easy to work with. They cleaned up all construction materials and took away the old deck. I will ask them for other projects in the future."

The monthly operating cost for an endless pool ranges from $20 to $50, primarily depending on usage frequency, desired water temperature, and local energy rates. Heating represents the largest portion of ongoing expenses, especially during colder months or for indoor installations maintained at higher temperatures. Modern energy-efficient models with quality insulation and covers help minimize these costs compared to older systems or traditional swimming pools.
With proper maintenance, endless pools last between 15 and 25 years. The structure outlasts mechanical components, with pumps and heaters often requiring replacement after seven to 10 years of regular use. Vinyl liners need replacement every five to 10 years, while fiberglass shells and concrete constructions offer greater longevity. Regular water chemistry management, prompt repairs, and protection from extreme weather conditions significantly extend useful life.
When comparing total project expenses, endless pools cost less than full-sized traditional swimming pools. While endless pools have a higher cost per square foot ($250 to $300 compared to traditional pools' $50 to $125), their significantly smaller footprint results in lower overall costs.
Traditional in-ground pools range from $50,000 to $100,000 fully installed, while endless pools average $23,000 to $40,000. Endless pools also require less maintenance and consume fewer chemicals than larger swimming pools.
Endless pools can function year-round in cold regions with appropriate heating systems and insulation. Many homeowners in northern areas install their endless pools indoors or add enclosures (costing $3,900 to $12,000) for winter protection.
While heating costs increase during colder months, efficient models with quality covers minimize energy consumption. Indoor installations eliminate weather concerns entirely but require proper ventilation and moisture control systems to prevent humidity damage to surrounding structures.
