From www.swimmingpo... - this video is a long form educational video to help swimming pool owners take over the day to day care and maintenance of their pool. Everything from pump and filter maintenance to a complete breakdown of the chemical protocols for balancing your swimming pool chemistry is included in this video.
Taking care of your own pool is not impossible but it will take some commitment to learning about difference aspects of your pool, pool chemistry etc. but with some effort you very shortly can be on cruise control with your daily / weekly swimming pool maintenance. It is not a lot of work once you get over the learning curve...plus you don't need to learn everything about all pools - just your one swimming pool. Definitely something you can do if you set your mind to it (and watch this video)!
