Certified Pool & Spa Operator (CPO)

CPO Certification is a professional credential offered by the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) that recognizes individuals who have demonstrated expertise in the operation and maintenance of swimming pools and spas. This certification covers essential knowledge areas such as water chemistry, filtration, pool safety, and equipment maintenance. Certified Pool & Spa Operators are trained to ensure that pools and spas are safe, clean, and well-maintained. For clients with pools or spas as part of their landscape, hiring a CPO-certified professional ensures that their facilities will be properly managed, reducing the risk of health hazards and extending the life of the pool or spa.
