The purpose of this publication is to provide accurate and useful information for home inspectors in order to perform an inspection of pools and spas at residential properties. This manual covers the following topics: how pools and spas work; the circulation, heating and filtering systems and components; the electrical components; water chemistry; safety issues; maintenance recommendations; and an inspection procedural checklist. The focus of this book and its corresponding online course is on the water of residential pools and spas, and the systems and components that move or change it. This publication is a useful tool as a portable guide for inspectors on the job. It also serves as a study aid for InterNACHI’s online How to Inspect Pools and Spas course and exam.
