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.
