New book — How To Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae

A new pool care book just hit Amazon’s store shelves that has service technicians across the country raving. “How to get rid of Swimming Pool Algae,” by Rudy Stankowitz, is currently #27 on Amazon’s Best Sellers in Consumer Guides, and if you get a copy, you’ll see why.

In this easy-to-read and sometimes funny pool care book, Stankowitz, a 30-year industry veteran and awardwinning instructor, shares some of the pro tips he’s amassed as a pool chemistry expert.

In just 90 pages, this book covers the basics of pool water chemistry and filtration with an emphasis on algae remediation and prevention. Learn all about the different kinds of algae that are found in swimming pools and the conditions that different kinds of algae prefer. All algae are not the same, and one-size-fits-all 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.

And the book goes beyond algae. It provides useful information about white mold, various types of bacteria and other undesirables in healthy swimming pools.

It also provides the details of Stankowitz’s own field studies on treatments that work well, and those that leave a little to be desired.

It’s a must have for those who care for swimming pools, whether they have just one, or an entire route.

And it is getting great reviews from pool industry experts.

Dr. Tom Lachocki. Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Executive Legacy LLC, previously Chief Executive Officer, National Swimming Pool Foundation calls it “Fascinating!!!”

Dr. Roy D. Vore, Ph.D., Microbial Physiologist, Senior Consultant, Vore & Associates LLC, previously Technology Manager, BioLab Inc., writes “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.”

Go to Amazon to get your copy: Kindle edition: $9.99, Paperback: $29.99.
