The range and average are from local listings for pool remodeling and resurfacing, which can include more than a new finish.

Resurfacing

low to high, typical. Bars use the same scale, up to $12,300.

The first row is local listings for pool remodeling, which can include more than a new finish. The finish rows are from an older Review-Journal article, so today's prices are likely higher. The same article put the spa add-on at about $500 to $800 more.

Why it wears out faster here: the Review-Journal reported that a pool surface can last 20 years or more, but in Las Vegas 10 to 12 years is more likely because of hard water.

Pumps and heaters

low to high, typical. Bars use the same scale, up to $5,300.

Pump prices are national. Heater prices are from a Las Vegas pool supply store's article, which also put running costs at about $1 to $1.50 an hour for a heat pump and $3 to $7 for gas.

Service and repairs

low to high, typical. Bars use the same scale, up to $1,100.

Local listings don't say whether the cleaning price is per visit or per month. A Las Vegas tile cleaning company lists tile cleaning starting at $475 and an acid wash starting at $350. Leak detection is national.

Building new? A Las Vegas pool builder puts a new in-ground pool at $40,000 to $120,000. New residential pools are capped at 600 square feet (see below).

Draining and water rules

• Size limit: Clark County and LVVWD approved a 600 square foot cap on new residential pools and spas in July 2022. The average Southern Nevada pool was about 475 square feet.
• Evaporation: SNWA says a pool loses about 48.6 gallons per square foot a year to evaporation, roughly 22,800 gallons for a 470 square foot pool. A cover cuts that by up to 90%.
• Draining: only into the sanitary sewer cleanout, never the street, storm drain or a septic system, at no more than 12 gallons a minute. North Las Vegas calls draining to the street unlawful where a sewer is available.
• How often: LVVWD suggests draining and refilling every 3 to 5 years, in May or June.
• Filter cleaning: SNWA says to wash cartridge filters when pressure rises 10 psi, and the wash water can go on landscaping, never the street.

Pump rules and rebates

• Federal efficiency rules: a DOE pool pump standard took effect July 19, 2021. A newer DOE motor rule requires variable-speed control on most pool pump motors: 1.15 to 5 horsepower from September 29, 2025, and smaller motors later (the rule's own dates conflict for that tier).
• NV Energy: its PowerShift program has offered a discount on ENERGY STAR variable or multi-speed pumps for southern Nevada customers, through approved pool pros, and free pump calibration from April 1 to August 31 for pumps installed at least 12 months. We couldn't confirm the current dollar amount, so ask your pool pro.
• Boulder City: the city utility pays $100 for a two-speed pump and $200 for a variable-speed pump. Apply within 90 days of install.
