Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This may not be the snappy tome you take with you to read on vacation, but if you have and maintain a swimming pool, it's a book you will want to have handy. It covers the basic construction of pools of all kinds, cleaning routines, water chemistry and treatment, simple repairs, caring for hot tubs and spas, and even pool safety. Also included are tips on water and energy conservation, a glossary of terms, and a thorough index for quick reference. If you own a swimming pool, you should own this book. --Mark Hetts

By A Customer
This review is from: What Color Is Your Swimming Pool? The Guide to Trouble-Free Pool Maintenance (Paperback)
Our family purchased a house with an in-ground swimming pool. Being new to pools, I read this book cover to cover to learn how to care for the pool. Very helpful to the new pool owner, written at the right level of detail. Easy to read and follow.

Not enough information on "How to".,

This review is from: What Color Is Your Swimming Pool? The Guide to Trouble-Free Pool Maintenance (Paperback)
As a new pool owner, with no prior experience in pool care, I did not find this book to be particularly helpful. The book had a lot of information on what things were, and what needed to be done in terms of problem solving. Unfortunately the book neglected to share with readers how to do it. I would not recommend this book to new pool owners.

This review is from: What Color Is Your Swimming Pool? The Guide to Trouble-Free Pool Maintenance (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I will defitely keep it as a reference for when by pool is completed. I only wish it would give a popular opinion on things like which filter type is best ect... instead it gives the facts of each filter type and leaves it up to you to decide which one you want (I guess alot of people would like that, but I would prefer to hear the popular opinion of pool owners) Overall I would recommend this to anyone thinking about getting a pool or anyone who already own a pool. Very nicely written and illustrated.
