STR - pool heat costs billed to guests?

[Erik Applegate]

Hey everyone, looking for some advice on charges back to guests in Scottsdale, specifically around heating a pool for them. About to install an electric heater, I want to minimize interactions though and avoid requesting $  everyday. Think I’ll say it’ll be heated to 82 automatically, if they want it higher it’ll be $100 for the weekend, $150 per week. 

Thoughts, and any other charge backs y’all are doing for guest services?

Quote from @Erik Applegate:

$150 per week? Does it really cost $600 a month to heat the pool?

Increase the nightly rate a nominal amount to cover the costs. If it's $200 a month to heat and clean the pool, divide that by 30 days to get a daily rate, increase that by 25% for your profit margin, and increase the nightly rate by that amount. $10 seems sufficient to me.
