Pool School, the Original Interactive Swimming Pool HelpDesk Since 1996:

Welcome to our "on-line" help desk for pool and spa problems.Your questions have been surprisingly diverse and if common or interesting enough, may be posted to the FAQ page. If you have a question, we'll run it by whomever is most experienced to answer.

For chemical problems, please see our links page. The info's complete and the sites are comprehensive. We're versed in real-world pool chemistry, but these guys like to argue Periodic Theory. Chemistry gets real technical, real fast and that's good enough reason for us to avoid chemical disputes.

Anything else to do with a pool or spa is fair game. Simply answer the questions on the checklist to the best of your knowledge.
