Incorporating much of Stankowitz’s field research, The How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae book is the only publication to offer an in-depth topic-specific course of study on swimming pool algae. Several myths are Busted! Previously unknown information on Black Algae, including species and new treatment methods, are within these pages. Wowza!
This handbook takes the reader through discerning algae myths, environmental factors, the role water chemistry plays, conditions types of algae prefer, the influence of filtration and circulation, characteristics of algae species, pairing algastats, and algaecides to phylum. This book is more than a text that simply exposes an individual to algae treatments – ‘How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae’ is written to provide a person with the tools and knowledge to become an Algae Prevention & Eradication Specialist.
“I’ve shared a ton of methods and hacks I have picked up along the way – Ancient Pool Pro Secrets.”– Rudy Stankowitz
“Getting the chance to reimagine education in the pool industry in creating a resource manual with a specialized focus and a training course to follow – nothing could be more exciting for me… This is, after all, more in line with the way people actually learn. I talk about things other than algae, but only how they play a role in either thwarting or remediating algae growth. It keeps us on a single topic, and that increases retention and elevates skillsets in a big way.” – Rudy Stankowitz
“If you include my field research and lab studies I’ve had conducted, this is a project that has been years in the making. The idea of bundling it all up into a comprehensive tutorial with accompanying text (available now) and a certification course (available April 2, 2021) is a dream come true. The pool industry has been very good to me – it’s nice to have a way to pay it forward. In this day and age, I don’t see why anyone should have to reinvent the wheel. I want to share what I’ve learned.” – Rudy Stankowitz
Stankowitz’s book ‘How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae’ is available Now on Amazon in both Paperback and eBook for worldwide distribution. The publication stands on its own and is a tremendous resource for both new pool care, Aquatics Professionals, Hotel & Apartment Maintenance, Waterpark Personnel, and seasoned Pool Pros. The book is excellent for new hire training as well! At a much lower price point than similar educational texts, Rudy is adamant that the book and upcoming program be affordable to all.
“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.” – Dr. Roy D. Vore, Ph.D., Microbial physiologist, Senior Consultant, Vore & Associates, previously Technology Manager, BioLab inc.
