Crystal-clear advice for maintaining a crystal-clear swimming pool

Keeping a swimming pool ready for use requires some chemistry know-how, an understanding of how pool mechanics work, and some time spent doing good old-fashioned cleaning work. Pool Care For Dummies offers a reliable, comprehensive resource for building the knowledge that lets you turn pool maintenance into a do-it-yourself task.

Written by a certified swimming pool professional who started taking care of pools when she was 5 years old, this book helps you separate the good advice from the bad as you learn to build an upkeep schedule, figure out what chemicals you actually need and which are less-than-magical potions, and fix the common problems that plague all pool owners. With so much trustworthy pool care advice in one place, you can finally cut back on time spent searching for swimming pool advice and spend more time splashing with your friends and family!

  • Learn how pools work and get the tools you need to keep your pool running
  • Test your water and maintain a safe swimming environment
  • Care for and balance your above-ground or in-ground pool
  • Know what to do when unexpected problems arise

Private pool owners who need to know what’s what in the water will love this clear and complete Dummies guide.
