THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED ON POOLS,
By Joan Yesner (cherry hill, new jersey) - See all my reviews

If you want to buy 1 book to take you through everything you need to know about building a pool, this is the book to buy. The book explains all aspects of pool building allowing the reader to understand all aspects of pool construction, front start to finish.

Helpful reference on building and maintaining a pool or spa,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Swimming Pools & Spas (Southern Living (Paperback Sunset)) (Paperback)
Southern Living's Swimming Pools & Spas is a nicely illustrated and useful reference for those new to swimming pool or spa ownership. Not only does this publication provide useful information to the novice pool owner, the topics range from pool and spa construction, maintenance, repairs and safety. I knew what to expect and what questions to ask before I contracted to have a pool installed at my home after reading this publication. The many photos of a variety of swimming pools was very useful in the design of my pool. Even if you own a pool and want to remodel, this publication is an excellent resource for new ideas and inspirations.

Good starting book but lacking in details,
By A Customer
This review is from: Swimming Pools & Spas (Paperback)
I was interested in learning a good deal more details regarding the workings of a pool. In particular, appropriate hydrodynamic design, construction details (what to ask your builder for), and also much more detail on newer alternative sanitizers. This book is a start but you'll need more detail for educated opinions if you are going to be involved with your pool builder.

Provides a much wider-ranging set of discussions than competing titles with narrower focuses,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Swimming Pools And Spas, which covers building, maintaining and landscaping a pool or spa. From how to choose among different pool or spa options to understanding its mechanical systems and using landscaping to integrate it into a backyard, by including both under one cover, Swimming Pools And Spas provides a much wider-ranging set of discussions than competing titles with narrower focuses - and enable homeowners to contrast and choose between a pool or spa.

This review is from: Swimming Pools & Spas (Paperback)
Great 101 book for somebody who just got a pool or is thinking of buying/ building a pool. Will demonstrate the basics and definitely get you pointing the right direction.
As mentioned we are a Miami Swimming Pool Builder / Miami Swimming pool Contractor. And down here there are many Miami Swimming pool Companies who deliver a pool with no instructions only to be back a few months later to replace major components in your Swimming Pool. <a href=http://www.miami-swimming-pool.com>Miami Designer Pools, Inc.</a> http://www.miami-swimming-pool.com Miami Designer Pools, Inc. 12 E.
