- It costs less to
install:
A regular
outside pool costs in the range of 35,000 to 50,000,
or even more!
Our standard RIVER
product sells for $20,500 plus $3,900 installation, plus shipping, in
addition to possible site preparation costs (*).
- It
costs less to
maintain:
Our pool
contains one tenth of the amount of water, thus you will be saving in
heating, filtering, water treatment and overall maintenance
costs.
The surface area of the River
pool is only 8' x 15' (120sqft). This is the most relevant factor in
the calculations of heat loss.
Compare with a 18' x 24' pool size(432sqft). In addition to the other
factors (amount of water, heat loss through the walls, etc.) this means
that (in similar environmental conditions) your cost of heating a
River pool is one fifth to one eight the cost of heating a regular
pool (Click Here to
see heating cost estimates).
Finally, since a
River pool can be put inside, cost savings with respect to an
outside pool are not even in the same order of
magnitude: Ten to twenty times less in heating costs, ten
times less in water treatment and filtering, no dirt accumulated in
the winter, etc.
(*) SITE PREPARATION COSTS (Your responsibility):
- When the River pool is installed inside, you may
not need much preparation, if it's installed in an
existing basement or garage, keeping your overall
costs below $30,000 (Approximate estimate, including
installation, taxes and shipping to locations
reachable within one day drive from North Alabama).
However, if you want to create a special sunroom
for your River pool, then obviously you have to
budget for those costs. The good news is that a new
room with an indoor pool will raise the re-sale
value of your property in proportion to your
renovation expenses!
- When installed outside, you need to pour a 12' x 24' cement slab
and add a cover for the mechanical area. You may
also want to add insulation and finishing panels (or
other finishing) around the pool.
