Hi Slikmrs
well pool or no pool - we did not want one, our first place was pool-less, our present one has (not shared - but if you ask nicely I will) glad we have it is the simple answer, costs for running are hard to define, chemicals are in the region of 200 TL a year, electric for the pool pump and garden well are (at a guess) 10-20 Tl a month, we keep the pool open all year as i feel that winterising it properly would be more costly than keeping it fresh.
Electric bills highest winter bill December) was 165 Tl for a month, lowest winter bill (February) was 48 Tl, summer ones average out at about 80 Tl a month, we were lucky this year as its been pretty mild compared to last year, for example we have only used the water immersion heater a couple of times due to lack of sun.
Fuel for heating - wood burner - cost around 300 TL for the winter period.
Water bills - usually only around 15-20 Tl a month.
Gas bottle (for the cooker hob) - approx 70 Tl a time - lasts us 3 to 6 months.
