electrical cost to heat the water - $5,787 per year versus $10,251
water cost - $508 (169,000 gallons) per year to operate 8 hours per day, 7 days a week, compared to $1,157 annually
water usage - 58 gallons per hour versus 132 gallons per hour
chemical usage - $923 annually versus $2,101

Now, these are savings that really clean up!
