Most pools run longer than they need to
Most pool problems don’t appear overnight. The water can look fine for weeks, then suddenly turn cloudy or green — and it’s rarely obvious what changed.
Between pool shop visits, water chemistry keeps moving. At home, we might do a quick check with a test strip, but it’s often unclear what to do next, or how much to adjust.
So when the water doesn’t look quite right, the natural response is to play it safe: run the pump longer or add more chlorine. It feels sensible, but it often adds cost without fixing the underlying issue.
When water is kept balanced between pool shop visits, everything is easier — the water stays stable, problems rarely take hold, and the pump doesn’t need to run longer than necessary.
What’s been missing is a simple way to manage chemistry at home with confidence — without guesswork.
That gap is exactly what the TED Pool Book is designed to help with.
A simple guide to keeping your pool perfect between visits
The TED Pool Book was written for pool owners who want easier pool care — without guesswork, jargon, or resorting to more runtime when things aren’t perfect.
It focuses on keeping water balanced between pool shop visits, so small chemistry issues don’t quietly turn into bigger problems — and our electricity bill doesn't go through the roof unnecessarily.
Inside the TED Pool Book, you’ll learn:
• what the core water balance indicators actually do
• which results matter, and which ones don’t
• what to do when something is a little high or low
• how water balance and pump run time influence each other
• when it makes sense to adjust things yourself — and when to head to the pool shop
The goal isn’t to replace the pool shop — it’s to make those visits more useful.
