    • Very helpful for above ground pool noobs
My boyfriend bought a house with an above ground pool, which is great...until you realize you have no idea how to maintain it, let alone troubleshoot problems. He finds this book to be incredibly helpful. He was particularly pleased to see the very detailed diagrams of how the pump and filter are supposed to be set up, since he suspected his was not set up correctly by the previous owners - and he was correct. The book covers all the basic maintenance topics, as well as the setup of a whole new system, if needed. ... show more

    • Not as bad as the other reviewers say
Ok, I'm NOT an expert on pools, but this covers quite a bit. You can never find EVERYTHING you want to know in one book. I would say he did a decent job. I certainly learned a lot. Why would I buy this if I already knew everything.

    • Not exactly what I expected
Bought it because it mentioned decks and decking, but has literally two pages of "deck ideas". No plans. It mainly covers installation and filter part schematics. Not very useful for my application.

This was a very informative book, written in a simple way, to explain to the novice pool owner what needs to be done to care for the pool, filter the water, etc. I used it when I bought a house with a pool and it was very helpful. Recommend to new pool owners.

    • Helpful, but not all inclusive
We have wanted to buy a pool since we built our house 10 yrs ago and decided this year was the year! But we don't even know anybody with an AGP and I was ordering it from a company out of town so I really wanted an owners manual, this seemed like the thing to go with after reading other reviews. Only thing, as a professional pool person, I sort of wish he had some input from newbies like us. We did our own installation and had a few things come up I wish he had covered in the book. We had one small section of the pool wall near a footing that had a small bend in it once the pool was 3/4 full. We spent 2 weeks leveling so it is COMPLETELY level, we think there may be some suction created when the pool was filling. We filled it up the rest of the way and it got a little better, but it's still there. Also took us 2 weeks to get the chlorine to register, he talks about liquid chlorine in the book but it's hard enough to find any pool supplies, and nobody sells liquid chlorine. If we had access to professional pool chemicals like he did, that might make more sense. I think instead of looking at it in a way where everything goes right, he should have done it from a point of view of what all could possibly go wrong. The section on types of pools helped me decide what to finally purchase and we ended up spending about $1,000 more than I originally budgeted, but I am glad. You can't pool shop on price or you'll regret it later. We also had trouble finding out how much sand to use in the sand filter. There was a label on the barrel that had all these units of measurement we have never heard of, couldn't even find the answer googling it. I wish he had talked about this in the sand filter section. Just little things that totally clueless people like us might come up against. I am hoping that now that it's up the book will be more helpful about maintenance. ... show more

    • Priceless book.
I had an ordinary fiberglass people for years and decided to build one using a vinyl liner in a deep navy blue. Our pool has a glass wall around and it's just gorgeous. So now with this book, we can see the care that goes into our pool is quite different than the concrete or fiberglass ones. The writer makes sure to use easy terminology and makes his directions as clear as the water you will get with this book. Great info. ... show more
