Freedom’s Price

This is a new links section added that has nothing to do directly with swimming pools or spas, but is still relevant because I could not enjoy my swimming pool if others had/did not pay for my freedom.

The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP)

The APSP is a national trade organization. There is some consumer information available on this website. However, they have three other sites that are owner orientated:

Pool People USA is intended for the pool owner.

Hot Tub Living is intended tor the spa and hot tub owner.

Splash Zone USA is designed for elementary school age kids. The FLASH site works better than the HTML site.

Independent Pool and Spa Service Association (IPSSA)

IPSSA is a trade organization for the pool service professional. Only a little of the information is intended for the pool owner.

AQUA Magazine

AQUA magazine is intended for the pool and spa professional. It is directed more towards construction and/or major remodel professionals.

California Spa and Pool Industry Education Council (SPEC)

SPEC says it is a "statewide (California) umbrella non-profit trade association." You have to dig for the pool owner tips (scroll to the bottom of the page).

"Adult Supervision is not an Option!" is SPEC's motto leading to their theme of a common sense approach to pool safety.
