Why Should You be Certified?

  • States and municipalities are constantly editing and/or revising their pool/spa operating codes; pool operators are expected to know this information.
  • Older pools are less efficient, creating a challenge for skilled operators to maintain and operate with limited funds and 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 who have technical knowledge.
  • Rapid advances in technology require the constant updating of operator knowledge and skill.
  • Good training can result in the efficient operation of your facility, saving thousands of budget dollars.

What is the CPO?

The CPO is recognized nationwide as the leading standard of the swimming pool industry. The CPO seal of approval is assurance to 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. The course is taught by university educators with no bias of commercial pool manufacturers or suppliers.
