Pages : 92
Book Description
This is a great book for anyone who takes care of swimming pools❗ A MUST HAVE that applies to pools of any shape or size, whether you go on to take the certification class or not, you'll have fewer bouts with green, yellow, and black algae 🦠with this 'How to' book on your shelf. Don't spend money on expensive treatments! Swimming pool algae is easy and super inexpensive to prevent when you know what to look for. Rudy shares tips and hacks that he has learned over his thirty years in the pool industry to help your pools keep that crisp, clear, Caribbean look. All algae are not the same, and cookie-cutter treatments don't always work. Stankowitz takes the guesswork out of identifying what you are dealing with and matching the best treatment to the specific algae type. An excellent book for both residential and commercial pools.Whether you maintain a single pool or multiple bodies of water on a route, the 'How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae' book will be the most comprehensive guide on algae prevention and remediation you will ever own. Algae is the single most commonly encountered swimming pool problems noted worldwide, so we felt that it deserved a book of its own that did more than touch upon the subject. But, be warned, after reading, you may find that you have become somewhat of a Guru on the topic. Beginning April 2nd, 2021, a Certification class to accompany the 'How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae' book - taught by the author, thirty-year pool industry veteran, pool water chemistry expert, and award-winning instructor Rudy Stankowitz. The Algae Prevention & Eradication Specialist certification course will cover the book's material and then some. In both the publication and the class, you will learn: Algae Myths Environmental Factors The Role Water Chemistry Plays Conditions Different Algae Types Prefer The Influence of Filtration & Circulation Characteristics of Algae Species Algastats and Algaecides And More! "Rudy, your field samples are very interesting - and rare. There is almost nothing published on the varieties of algae in pools... If you focus on black "algae," you will be the first person in nearly 40 years to document it. That would be really, really cool." - Dr. Roy D. Vore, Ph.D., Microbial physiologist, Senior Consultant, Vore & Associates LLC, previously Technology Manager, BioLab inc. "Fascinating!!!" - Dr. Tom Lachocki. Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Executive Legacy LLC, previously Chief Executive Officer, National Swimming Pool Foundation "Interesting Rudy. I think it points to the importance of conducting a larger study where a number of pools are sampled to look for trends and how and if the trends correlate to certain pool parameters (indoor vs. outdoor, disinfectant used, maintenance schedule, typical swimmer profile, etc.). It also demonstrates the importance of validating the efficacy of a product in a field trial(s). At the end of the day, the best approach may be tailored treatment plans that are optimized for each pools, similar to the "personalized medicine" trend. Good work!" - Darla Goeres Ph.D., Center for Biofilm Engineering, Montana State University
