couple, us we him her.

Thinking about getting one,but wondering what the actual real life running costs are.

Also obviously you can swim by time but are you able to tell distance by the flow rate?

To get the full effect you need the water in the background to look the same as it does when you look across the surface in the foreground, but as you live in Gosport your pool would need to be a murky green colour with lots of rubbish and plastic floating in it

LOL good try but not an infinity pool. An endless pool is something completely different it's like a very large hottub with the ability to run a flow of water through it at increasing strengths you basically swim into the current swimming on the spot, they can also be used as jacuzzi.

Do you mean the swim spas? They’re similar to a hot tub but hold more water .. cheapest way of running one would be linking it with either a solar or thermodynamics panel which would heat the water .

We have a regular hot tub. During the colder months our electricity bill is around £150 per month. When it’s warmer it can be as much as a third less.

One would assume that purely on the basis of having to hear and circulate much higher quantities of water, a swim spa would be significantly higher than we pay

Thanks, however the endless pool would be used at a much lower temperature .
