Editorial Reviews

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
