Dive past the misinformation you'll find online and get insight into how pool pros get things done Q and A with Author Kristine Blanchard What are the most common problems pool owners face with their pools? The most common ailments you will face are water quality issues like cloudy or green water, or filter/pump problems. When it comes to issues like cloudy or green water, the resolution is easy to achieve with a little bit of elbow grease, chemicals, and time. If you run into filter or pump problems, sometimes those can be a little more tricky. If you understand the basic concept of how these parts work, finding your problem is simple. I cover the solutions to the most common problems in Pool Care For Dummies. In what situations should a pool owner call in a professional rather than trying to DIY? This is all really based on your confidence level. Pool equipment and water quality are things that, once you are familiar enough with them, can be easily worked on or fixed. Any time there is an issue structurally, underground or any item still covered by the manufacturer, you will want the help of a professional. What are the most essential tools a pool owner needs to keep on hand? You really need an array of tools, but the most important ones are reliable test strips or a home testing system; quality cleaning equipment such as a good pole, vacuum head, brush and skimmer; and "in case of emergency" items like skimmer socks, a safety hook, a safety ring, and a first aid kit.
