Everyone remembers how exciting it was to go to the swimming pool as a kid. School was out and a big cannonball leap into refreshing water was always a fantastic way to start the day. Years later, the desire to own a pool might give you the same cheery feelings but also deter you when you imagine the challenges of keeping algae and odors away. Alan E. Sanderfoot banishes your worries in What Color is Your Swimming Pool? In his eloquent guide to maintaining a trouble-free pool or spa, he not only explains how pool and spa equipment work, but also how to fix and maintain the perfect pool. He gives basic tips for solving common water problems including discolored water as well as eye and skin irritation, and also considers issues related to pumps and filters. An exploration of the differences between the various sanitizers and oxidizers will teach you how to keep your pool water clear and refreshing.
All set for summer play, you may not know that pool and spa care goes well beyond summer. Sanderfoot advises that caring for a pool during the winter months will ensure a stress free reopening the following season.
