Publisher's Note -- There are approximately 7 million residential swimming pools currently in the United States. For anyone who owns a pool or is considering installing one, this updated, heavily illustrated guide will help them keep their pool safe and clean without costly commercial maintenance. The average pool owner knows little about how their pool really works, or how to establish a maintenance routine that will consistently keep their pool healthy and attractive. In this updated edition of "What Color is Your Swimming Pool?" marine engineer John O'Keefe offers photographs, step-by-step illustrations, and clear explanations of every aspect of pool construction and maintenance. Readers will learn all about basic water chemistry, chemical treatment and care, as well as how to select and care for pool components such as filters, pumps, motors, and heaters. Of course, easy, step-by-step instructions for routine cleaning are also included. "What Color is Your Swimming Pool?" is also an invaluable reference for more infrequent pool maintenance jobs such as winterizing and opening, and making simple repairs. Finally, O'Keefe includes chapters devoted to pool safety, and the special requirements of hot tubs and spas.
