A pool should be a place to relax, spend time with family, and enjoy your summer. But when the water turns green or the pump stops working, it can quickly become another source of stress. Figuring out what to do next can mean hours of searching, conflicting advice, and money spent on fixes that don’t solve the problem.

I’m Adam, owner of Poolside Fix and Russell Pools. After decades of working in the pool industry, I’ve come to appreciate how much clear, practical guidance matters. Understanding what’s happening—and why—is often the first step toward feeling comfortable taking care of your pool.

That’s what led me to build Poolside Fix. I wanted to put helpful troubleshooting guides and water-tracking tools within reach so you can understand your results, work through common problems, and have a clearer idea of your next step.

My mission is simple: help you care for your pool with more confidence, avoid unnecessary expenses, and recognize when it’s time to call a professional. You deserve to enjoy the pool you work hard to maintain. Don’t let a pool issue own your weekend.
