Just paid for a residence which has a on top of belligerent swimming pool. we know zero about a upkeep, cleaning as well as simple upkeep of swimming pools. Are there any great web sites, books, or suggestions to get me proposed in a right direction?
Not to toot our own horn but the following page on our site is a good place to start
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.
