Were you aware that in Texas, all public swimming pools and spas have to be under the supervision and direction of a properly trained and certified operator?
Swimming pool and spa operators are obligated to provide clean and safe facilities for public use. Diseases can be spread by swimming in improperly treated water. The Certified Pool & Spa Operator® (CPO®) certification program is the world’s leading education and certification program for keeping pools safer and keeping them open. Participants are trained in the most advanced techniques of chemical treatment, filtration, and mechanical system operation and maintenance. PHTA (Pool & Hot Tub Association) certifies individuals who successfully complete 16 hours of Certified Pool-Spa Operator instruction & pass the examination.
