Sadly\, few people relate suc h illnesses back to poorly cleaned pool water and believe they’ve eg eat en something which didn’t agree with them or have had too much sun. So\, for obvious reasons\, it is vital for anyone who is going to clean a pool \, to be trained FULLY and PROPERLY in how to clean water or pool operator s /owners are risking the health and\, worst case\, the life\, of anyone w ho uses that water. It’s not enough to have a test kit and simply keep a dding chlorine: water may be clear but it may NOT be clean.\n\nAt the end of the course\, you will know how to:\n\nCalculate the pool and spa water volumes.\nEvaluate\, lower / raise pH\, Alkalinity\, Calcium and stabilize r levels.\nCalculate levels of disinfectant in parts per million given a p ool volume and required amount of disinfectant to be added.\nCalculate flo w rates\, turnover rates and filter sizes for public \, private or water p ark installations.\nDetermine total dynamic head of a pool re-circulation system.\nDetermine the flow rate from total dynamic head and pump curve ch arts.\nCalculate volume of water loss through leakage and evaporation.\nCa lculate saturation index.\nCalculate horsepower given\, watts\, voltage an d amperage.\n\nWHO SHOULD BECOME QUALIFIED?\n\nThere should be a trained a nd certified operator at any pool facility. If the routine maintenance is provided by a third party service company (the majority of Cyprus pool ope rators) then the pool operator should be qualified. The owner or manager o f a facility or the person responsible for the pool should have a comprehe nsive knowledge of statutes\, administrative codes\, regulations and commo n practices. The CPO certified pool and spa operators training programme p rovides this education base.\n\nThe course is a 2 day intensive training seminar with an examination at the end lasting around 2 / 3 hours\, as wel l as homework on the first day. The successful candidates must attain a mi nimum score of 75% to be accredited with the C.P.O operator’s licences.\ n\nASSESSMENT CERTIFICATION:\n\nThe NSPF\, (National swimming pool foundat ion) C.P.O training course is the most respected pool and spa maintenance course in the world with over 250\,000 people trained to date.\n\nOnce you have successfully achieved the pass rate you will be an accredited C.P.O operator for a period of 5 years. You will also ( in that period ) have di rect access to your instructors for added information \, advice and guidan ce when required as well as information relayed to you on a regular basis from the NSPF.\n\nOur aim is to help rather than tell you what to do \, al l pools react differently depending on various factors and nobody will kno w that individual pool or installation better than you the pool maintenanc e person \, but there are times when you will need that little bit of help \, advice \,guidance and we will always be on hand .\n\nCOURSE PRESENTER: Mr Tony Bell TBA\, NSPF Instructor CATEGORIES:00 – Currently Organized Courses LOCATION:CMS Training Centre\, 12 Lefkosias Road Limassol 3021 \, Limassol \, Cyprus\, Cyprus X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=12 Lefkosias Road Limassol 3021 \, Limassol \, Cyprus\, Cyprus;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=CMS Trainin g Centre:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
