Clean, healthful, sparkling water - that's what a swimming pool is all about. Professional pool maintenance crews will keep a swimming pool clean and its water crystal clear but they cost a fortune. Yet many pool owners who try the do-it-yourself approach find themselves plagued by a host of troubles. Cloudy water. Algae sprouting on the pool's walls and bottom. Pumps, pipes, and other equipment that-corrode and deteriorate at an alarming rate. Funky odours. WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR SWIMMING POOL? Demonstrates how a little investment of time throughout the swimming pool season can prevent major problems and expenses down the road.

Since I had an in-ground swimming pool installed last spring [John] O'Keefe's book has been my maintenance bible. -Newsday
O'Keefe does an excellent job of organizing subjects so that even a pool novice like me can find the solution to a problem. -Newsday
O'Keefe provides an excellent glossary, chapters on energy conservation and pool safety, and even a chapter on maintaining hot tubs and spas. -Newsday
I'd recommend O'Keefe's book to both owners of above-ground and in-ground pools, and to those thinking about purchasing a pool. -Newsday
...this is a something-for-everyone type of manual. -Newsday
