Product Description

Product Description
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The complete Pool Manual for Homeowners and Professionals, 15 Jun 2007

By	H. Anderson (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book really does provide, as its title suggests, a step-by-step guide to everything you could ever need to know about setting up and maintaining a pool. Although the book contains a wealth of information about pools, spas and hot tubs, the book is well-written and easy to read. What most impressed me is that, while reading the book, you can't help but get the impression that the author really does have first-hand experience of everything he is writing about. This gives a certain level of comfort and confidence to the reader that this book will, on its own, provide all the information you could need to know about designing, setting-up and maintaining a pool.

During each step of the process the author provides details, from his own experience, of things that could go wrong thus ensuring that that you won't make the same mistakes. The author obviously is passionate about the subject of pools and wants to make sure that anyone who wants to have a pool will be able to have one that they will enjoy and not cause problems or undue expense.

Pools have the potential to be dangerous in terms of the hazardous chemicals involved, not to mention the lethal combination of water and electricity. However, these subjects are addressed in great detail and therefore any potential dangers should be avoided allowing pool-owners to enjoy their pools in the knowledge that they are safe to use.

The book will be useful to the home-owner who wants to establish their own pool as it will provide an understanding of the basics of pools and how to maintain them, but the depth and breadth of information provided also means that it would be useful to professionals already working in the pool business.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what it says on the tin., 2 April 2008

By	ChipTester (Hertford) - See all my reviews

I can tell that this author is passionate about swimming pools, and I can tell that he has the knowledge and experience, gained over many years of working in the industry, to position himself as a swimming pool guru.

I can also tell that he does not have a grasp of the English language, he does not have a grasp of maths and he does not understand either chemistry or biology as it relates to swimming pool operation and maintenance.

The book is essentially unstructured, with many sections ending with "more of this later". Paragraphs and sections are introduced with a general synopsis of what they are going to cover, and then they don't.

I have managed to gain some insight into mainenance, but nothing like what I was expecting. Perhaps it's me, but after reading the book, I am still not sure where I should begin. Luckily I have another book.
