Description


If you are a pool owner, you have made a major investment and proper swimming pool maintenance is an absolute must! Keeping your pool clean and maintained should be a top priority since a clean pool is essential in many ways. First, no one wants to swim in, or look at, a dirty, green, or yellow pool. Keep in mind that although the pool may look clean, it may in fact be still contaminated with enough bacteria to cause sickness. If a pool is not maintained properly it can get very expensive to clean or fix at a later date. Dan Hardy has used every available resource in his 20-year career as a pool professional to add to his store of knowledge about making and keeping water safe. An untiring and dedicated "Pool Doctor," he has become the "go to" man for owners of some of the world's largest, most ornate, and expensive private swimming pools including that of award-winning actor Mr. John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston. Dan started working on pools as a boy in his dad's firm. Not content with doing routine maintenance, he began learning all he could about chemicals, mechanics, and safety. In this book he may just be a lifesaver to pool owners who want to save money on maintenance but need to know how to handle poisons safely. Pool maintenance business owners will want to have this book on hand as an easy guide to repairing filtration and pumps and dealing with serious pool problems. And anyone who wishes to have such a career could have no better mentor than Dan Hardy.

Customer reviews for 'The Complete Pool Manual for Homeowners and Professionals: A Step-by-Step Maintenance Guide'

Good detailed book

The book goes into a lot of detail on pool maintenance, etc. What I was missing is an executive overview of everything a pool owner needs to do. Being new to maintaining it myself this would have been helpful.

Inadequate

I purchased this book based on its high review ratings and am at a loss as to what everyone finds so compelling about it. I found the book poorly written (paragraphs that have sentences out of order and which make no sense), anecdotal, and completely devoid of any practical information on how to maintain one's pool. Basically a treatise on the author's self proclaimed expertise and experience (he even almost knowingly poisons himself cleaning a pool and admonishes the reader to do as he says and not as he does !?!) and completely lacking in practical, here is what you do to maintain your pool information. I am left needing to find another book to help me understand what is going on. What a waste of time reading and money.

Great Resource for Pool Owners

We bought a house with a pool & spa and the previous owners were kind enough to take all of the materials pertaining to both. Never owning a pool before, we were clueless. This book has been very helpful! I highly recommend for the new pool owner and it could prove to be useful for the experienced pool owner as well.
