You need a copy of "The Ultimate Guide to Above-Ground Pools," by Terry Tamminen. Regardless if you just acquired an above-ground or on-ground pool or have had one for years, you'll find far more value from the book than its price. (San Jose Mercury News 2004-04-30)
Although detailed, this book can be used by anyone.
Now that my book has been in print for 3 years, I have had the chance to see both ordinary homeowners and pool technicians use it. My 12 year old nephew surprised his family and cleaned the pool filter, following the steps in the book. But at the same time, a friend who has been in the pool business for 20 years told me he keeps a copy of the book in his truck and refers to it almost daily, especially when trying to troubleshoot heater problems. These anecdotes are gratifying, because the purpose of the book was to put useful information in the hands of everyone, regardless of technical ability. If anyone has feedback on how future editions can be even more user-friendly, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks!
