Swimming pool maintenance?
JAYTM_73 asked:
Just bought a house that has a above ground swimming pool. I know nothing about the upkeep, cleaning and basic maintenance of swimming pools. Are there any good web sites, books, or suggestions to get me started in the right direction?

The library is overflowing with pool maintenance manuals. Try google too, typing in pool maintenance as a keyword. The most important thing is keeping the water balanced, as in ph. If there is not a chemical test kit somewhere around the house, you can get one at any pool supply store. The kit comes with instructions and ideal water conditions are color coded. You may want to drain the pool at some point, for cleaning or maintenance, and you will need to know local ordinances for the disposal of chemically treated water. If there is no cover, get one. If there is no fence around it, get one of those too. Not all areas require that above ground pools be fenced in for security, but this does not relieve the homeowner of responsibility if someone gets into the pool and drowns.
Not to toot our own horn but the following page on our site is a good place to start
Lot of sites are available online regarding pools and their maintenance .You can try many of those .One advice from my part,Keep the Ph level neutral.
Keeping a swimming pool well is a difficult thing.You must take utmost care when maintaining a swimming pool.You can preferably appoint a person to take care of your pool.
