Get CPO-
A CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification is a professional credential that demonstrates an individual’s knowledge and competency in pool operations. CPO certification is recognized as a standard of excellence in the pool and spa industry and is often required by state and local regulations for public and commercial pools.
Although this course is generally intended for the hands on operator, there is a wealth of information that will be useful to aquatic supervisors and recreation and maintenance directors. Our common goals are to provide practical knowledge to assist your personnel in reducing the cost operating your swimming pools.
Why Get CPO-Certified?
Knowledge and Credibility
CPO certification programs provide individuals with a thorough understanding of pool chemistry, water circulation, filtration, and sanitation. This knowledge can help CPOs ensure that pools are clean, safe, and well-maintained.
Improved Aquatic Safety
CPOs are trained to identify and address potential safety hazards in and around the pool, such as electrical issues, slippery surfaces, and improper fencing. By implementing best practices for pool safety, CPOs can help prevent accidents and injuries.
Cost Savings
By properly maintaining pool equipment and water chemistry, CPOs can guide their facilities to more streamlined operations by saving them money in both the short and long term. Their specialized training also provides guidance on how to help extend the life of pool equipment and reduce the need for costly repairs and replacements.
