INTERVIEW WITH POOL DESIGNER AND CO-AUTHOR, STEVE NENER

Q – Why should prospective pool buyers buy this book?

A – It’s all about being informed. If you have never bought a pool before, how do you know what questions to ask a pool builder? Do you know what sorts of pools are out there? Do you know the difference between a fibreglass pool and a concrete pool? Do you have some basic ideas about how you will use your pool? You, as the buyer, need to come forewarned and forearmed when you talk to a pool designer, ask for a site visit and get a quote. You need to show that you have taken an interest in finding out about the industry, and have some ideas about what you want for your own pool. This guide is simple and not too detailed but will give you some great ideas and a general guideline to how things work in the industry, the process and what happens as you move forward.

Q – What are some interesting things readers might learn from this guide?

A – If you’re in the market for a pool, you can learn about the swimming pool construction business and process, how to maintain your pool and something about the costs, the importance of buying sustainable products, environmental considerations when buying a pool, how your particular outdoor space can be effectively designed no matter how large, small or awkwardly shaped it may be.

Q – Who should read this book?

A – Anyone who is interested in having a tropical paradise or just a simple dip pool in their backyard. If you are being urged by the kids or other members of the family, I urge to get this book and just find out if it is for you. If you want to keep cool in your own home, and enjoy your outdoor area, this book is for you!

Q – Isn’t a pool just for the rich?

A – Not at all. There are pools for all sorts of budgets. What you do need to know, though, is that there are many factors to consider when requesting a price and there is a great section in the book about that.
