Product Description

Review

You need a copy of "The Ultimate Guide to Above-Ground Pools," by Terry Tamminen. Regardless if you just acquired an above-ground or on-ground pool or have had one for years, you'll find far more value from the book than its price. (San Jose Mercury News )

Product Description

'If you want to buy one book on swimming pools, this is it!' - Review from Amazon.com. Written for both the professional and the homeowner, this comprehensive field guide clues you in to the secrets of water maintenance, providing details on keeping pools, spas, and other recreational water features in tip-top condition. With over 10 million site-built pools and spas in the United States, the pool maintenance technicians have to be ready to conquer, and with this useful book they can be. As for homeowners, even if they hire a pro, this book can turn them into educated consumers, able to negotiate the best price for a job or even do some quick fixes themselves. This guide covers: everything from minor maintenance to major repairs and remodeling; chlorine alternatives; product resources; automation and noise control; pool side safety; water features such as ponds, rockscapes, and waterfalls; water chemistry; troubleshooting; and, environmental concerns with new information. Homeowners and professionals will recoup the cost of "The Ultimate Pool Maintenance Manual" many times over with the savings they'll experience from using it. New technologies in heaters and pumps, environmentally conscious water chemistry, chemical disposal strategies, and the increased interest in above-ground and indoor pool technology make this second edition a must for both professional and homeowner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, with easy to understand explanations, 6 Nov 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pool Maintenance Manual (Paperback)

As a brand new pool owner, I wish I had this book as I was overseeing the pool construction!!! I found the explanations most informative. Helped me to understand the complexities of water chemistry. Great drawings and pictures! Covers everything from minor maintenance to major fixes. (some I would never think of tackling myself)

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for the do-it-yourself and save pool owner, 9 Aug 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pool Maintenance Manual (Paperback)

I have purchased 4 books in search of practical reference for pool maintenance. This book is outstanding. In this genuine book the author offers a comprensive introduction and reference based on experience and intuition. It is well written and easy to understand.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Pool Maintenace Manual, 9 April 2006

By	Mrs J Jobson (Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Having purchased this book I found that it lacked uptodate material on such things as Salt Systems, latest types of port valves and specific relevance to European types of domestic swimming pools. I also found the contents of the book unnecessarily hard going. There are, however, chapters which are useful for the more technical minded. Not a book for a novice D.I.Y.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Pool Maintanence Manual
A good reference book, but some of the advise is far too technical ,
A good chapter on water chemistry, but absolutely no use if you have a salt water chlorination system.
