Note From The Author: You will not believe the amount of information in this book. I am not a trained writer or journalist. I have never even had a course in writing. I am a chemist, teacher and a hands-on practical guy. I have spent 32 years being a technical expert in the pool and spa industry. If you wanted to know something technically about chemicals I was they guy who could find out all about it and then explain it to you in terms you could understand.
I have written or co-written seven books on pool and spa water chemistry. I have written more than 120 articles. I started and co-owned Service Industry News, a twice-monthly trade newspaper for pool service technicians. I also wrote a monthly column for two years at Pool & Spa News called Lab Notes. I started and co-owned Leisure Time Chemical and I developed most of their products. In all, I have invented, developed and formulated 109 chemical products.
During my career I have collected all books, articles and printed information I could find on pool chemistry. In addition, many of the trade magazines for municipal drinking water treatment, well water and home water treatment have articles with information that could be applied to pools. In all, I have more than 175 books and more than 600 articles that contain information about water chemistry as it relates to pools.
Everything I have ever learned about or found on chlorine as it relates to swimming pools is in this book. I have used hundreds of books, articles, brochures, papers, memos, reports and other documents. At one point in my career I was taking more than 400 chemical tech support calls per month.
I am an independent consultant. Therefore I do not have a company line, I have no ties to any manufacturers and I can give you the straight information on water chemistry without sales information or spin. I have a reputation for truth and honesty and the information in this book is unbiased. It is an all-in-one source for pool chlorine information.
The best $29.95 you will ever spend on a reference book.
