Send Me The Cheat SheetsNO CATCH
Honestly, there's no catch. I've been teaching pool owners how to take care of their water for over 20 years. We sell the Pool Care Handbook and run The Pool Care App for people who want the full system, but the cheat sheets are the entry point. It's the thing I wish every new pool owner had taped to the inside of their equipment shed door.
When you download it, you'll also get our weekly pool care emails. They're short, practical, and seasonally relevant. You can unsubscribe in one click whenever you want, and we'll never sell your email or pester you with sales pitches.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Yes, 100% free. Enter your email and we'll send the printable PDF straight to your inbox. You'll also be subscribed to our weekly pool care emails, which you can unsubscribe from in one click anytime.
You'll get an instant email with a download link for the PDF. Save it, print it, and put it somewhere you'll see it (we recommend taping it inside your equipment shed or skimmer cabinet). It usually arrives within 60 seconds. If you don't see it, check your spam folder.
Never. We don't sell or share email addresses, period. We send one weekly email with seasonal pool care tips, and you can unsubscribe with one click whenever you want. No daily sales pitches, no shared mailing lists.
Yes. Saltwater pools still need the same chemistry balance as chlorine pools, since the salt cell just generates chlorine for you. The cheat sheet works for chlorine, saltwater, bromine, and biguanide systems.
Yes. The same principles apply to in-ground and above-ground pools. Only the chemical dosing amounts change with pool volume, and we link you to a free pool volume calculator inside the welcome email.
The principles are similar, but hot tub ranges, run times, and chemicals are different. If you have a hot tub, grab our separate Hot Tub Cheat Sheet instead.
Swim University is run by Matt Giovanisci, who's been teaching pool and hot tub owners how to take care of their water since 2006. More than 250,000 pool owners have used our guides, books, and the Pool Care app to take back control of their pool from the pool store.
Yes, that's exactly what it's built for. The PDF is formatted to print cleanly on a single sheet of standard 8.5" x 11" paper. Stick it on the fridge, the pump shed, or anywhere you'll see it during pool season.
You're 30 seconds away from never having to Google "what should my pH be" again.
