This book contains brief summaries of several topics related to building pools. It does not contain enough information on anything to enable you to build your own pool, or hire subcontractors to do it. It does not address how to hire subcontractors, what type of subs to hire, things to watch out for, etc, nor does it go into any degree of detail on how to build a pool. It is a basic intro to pools -- a waste of time if you need to get information to help you actuually do something. I would return it except postage will cost me about half the price of the book.

The content of this book could have been condensed into 20 pages. The information was much too general, even for me (I'm a new pool owner and not technical or mechanical at all).

As per other reviewers, this book is interesting and has a fair amount of information if you are new to the subject, but does NOT give you the detailed information you need to actually build/install a pool.

book was clear and concise. No technical language to get confused. drawings are helpful and well done. swimming pool maintenance and equipment information was extremely helpful.

Helpful to read if you are going to build new. Good to read even if you are having contractors perform most of the work. Other books may be more appropriate for current pool owners.

I found this book to be the best book of the year is was fascinating and incitfull its everything you need to build a swimming pool. I Loved IT I read it in one day I couldnt put it down. Go for it!!!!!
