Would be interested in hearing TRUE costs v. size
If I were to budget $15k, would this get me more than pond?
Thanks in advance

A friend of ours in Buddina is getting a pool installed just now by a well known local company, They were quoted 25k but after some technical problems they are up at 50k and the pool isn't finished!!!
We have just had approx 18m of glass pool fencing supplied and installed for $4300 which isn't much dearer then aluminium but looks way better.

We had initial costs of a new liner, and a new pump when we moved in after years of previous occupier neglect.
I pay a couple of hundred a year in chlorine and 'bits' - now got what I need plus pump electricity.
Do all my own testing and balancing; I enjoy the chemistry.
