Why Should You Be Certified?
- States and municipalities are constantly updating their pool/spa operating codes; pool operators are expected to stay informed.
- Older pools are less efficient, posing challenges for skilled operators to maintain with limited resources.
- New pools with unique design features require specialized operation and maintenance practices.
- The growing number of water parks, swimming pools, spas, and fountains has increased the need for professionally trained operators with technical knowledge.
- Rapid advances in technology require the constant updating of operator knowledge and skills.
- Good training can lead to efficient facility operations, saving thousands in budget dollars.
What is the CPO?
The CPO is recognized nationwide as the leading standard in the swimming pool industry. The CPO seal of approval assures commercial pool and spa owners that their facilities and guests are under the care and supervision of a trained professional. Participants are trained in the most advanced techniques of chemical treatment, filtration, and mechanical system operation and maintenance. This pool operator training curriculum is academic-based and taught by university educators with no bias toward commercial pool manufacturers or suppliers.
