Ask the Pool Guy, Allan Curtis, is a lifelong member of the swimming pool industry. This book is a compilation of his tips for swimming pool owners everywhere. Your pool is an investment that you and your family can enjoy for many years. We have put together some information to help you maximize your enjoyment, and answer many of the common pool service and maintenance questions. Several topics are also great troubleshooting guides and will serve as a valuable reference for you as you enjoy your pool. The swimming pool season in Michigan, where Ask the Pool Guy is located, typically runs from mid-April to mid-September. If you live in parts of the country where your season is longer, or even in the area where you don't winterize your pool, there is still plenty of information for you in this guide. If you have any additional questions or problems, you can contact our team via the website (www.askthepoolguy.com). We happily take calls and questions, and even pool design and build requests from around the country. We are prepared to help you troubleshoot, solve problems, and create the best swimming pool owner experience possible. Happy Swimming!
