Pool cleaning requires power and electricity both. The luxury of owning a pool comes with some additional costs. Pool pumps and filter systems need electricity to run them for keeping your dream pool functional. Per hour if we calculate, then the expenditure will come around 26 to 53 cents. But on a personal note, the electricity bills do make it a little expensive affair, but they maintain your pools nicely. One should always use good quality pumps which match your pool size and control electricity costs also.
