Description: I purchased my first home with a pool and a spa a little less than two years ago. The previous owner gave me a quick lesson on pool care. This scared me to death. I promptly went out and got a pool service and another and another. After purchasing this video, I realized that it isn't as difficult as I thought it was to take care of your pool. This was immensely informative in all areas. The best area for me personally was on the equipment and on how everything fits together. I always felt stupid when asking questions to my pool service. Now I can ask halfway intelligent questions and my service seems to be getting better. I am even tempted to do the service myself. This video not only provides information for the novice like myself, but for the more experienced pool owners as well. I highly recommend this video.

Review Summary: Good Basic Clear Pool Care Video with a few issues
Date: 2007-05-26
Details: I am a swimming pool professional in both service, repair & construction. We purchased this video to give to our new pool customers. Most of it is very good and easy to understand. They suggest acid washing a pool after a few years. My experience would suggest this is a bad idea, as it shortens the life of the pool plaster.
Details: This video is pretty much a beginner video which explains basic concepts and operation of a pool and spa. It goes through the thought process and show you what everything is and how to use it. If you were hoping for a video that goes a little deeper such as, how to winterize the pool, this isn't the video. The default answer to anything more than back flushing the filter is "Call a professional". Overall, a good beginner overview.
Review Summary: Not for Above Ground Pool Owners

Details: Very good detail even for complex systems. Does not tell you anything significant about above ground pool options tho'.
