  • Great author, good knowledge
David is such a great pool guy that spreads a wealth of knowledge around to those willing to listen for free on Youtube. I have liked and subscribed to many of his free videos on YouTube and follow his advice for my 35,000 (20'x40') pool. So far so good with no hicups three years in and never have had to have a pool guy. This book is a great amount of recap if you watch his free videos online. If you're just starting out it is a great place to begin without watching the videos. He lays down the basics and more and if you take the time to learn and pay attention to what he says, you will have great results on your pool. Not going to say effortless because pool care is work especially vacuuming and cleaning without a pool guy but I love the independence of doing it myself and understanding the chemistry. This book will get you on the same levels as most pool guys to do their work yourself. Highly recommend this book to anyone with a pool or spa who wants to dabble in and perform their own water maintenance! ... show more

  • Short, concise and to the point. Plus online help videos. This is a great tool to own!
Love this book. Easy to follow and if there’s something you don’t understand there’s videos to clarify. I’m new to pool maintenance and had no idea what chemicals to use to balance the water in my new pool or property maintain the equipment associated with my pool. This book (and his podcasts) have made my life more easy. I’m far from an expert, but I’m not afraid of the pool maintenance like I was at in the beginning. ... show more

  • Hard to USE
The information is hard to get because you have to point your smart phone at the blurry CR codes to get the information you need.

  • Great Book, tons of links to helpful content
I have struggled keeping a pool for 10 years. After an alge outbreak I bought this book. I have learned so much from it. But I love that there are QR code's to link videos for almost every topic he goes over. I am so ready to be in control of my pools chemistry. His years of experience just pour from the pages. ... show more

  • Everything you need to know.
Helped me very much. I didn’t know anything about pools until I read this book.

  • Not For The First-Time Pool Owner
Could be useful once I've learned more about swimming pools, but not for the first-time pool owner like me. I need more basic information about the pool and its appliances, and will look elsewhere for that, hoping that this book will be useful after I understand the essentials.
