Sadly\, few people relate such illnesses back to poorly cleaned pool water and believe they’ve eg eaten something which didn’t agree with them or have had too much sun. S o\, for obvious reasons\, it is vital for anyone who is going to clean a p ool\, to be trained FULLY and PROPERLY in how to clean water or pool opera tors /owners are risking the health and\, worst case\, the life\, of anyon e who uses that water. It’s not enough to have a test kit and simply kee p adding chlorine: water may be clear but it may NOT be clean.\n\nAt the e nd of the course\, you will know how to:\n\nCalculate the pool and spa wat er volumes.\nEvaluate\, lower / raise pH\, Alkalinity\, Calcium and stabil izer levels.\nCalculate levels of disinfectant in parts per million given a pool volume and required amount of disinfectant to be added.\nCalculate flow rates\, turnover rates and filter sizes for public \, private or wate r park installations.\nDetermine total dynamic head of a pool recirculatio n system.\nDetermine the flow rate from total dynamic head and pump curve charts.\nCalculate volume of water loss through leakage and evaporation.\n Calculate saturation index.\nCalculate horsepower given\, watts\, voltage and amperage.\n\n\n\n\nWHO SHOULD BECOME QUALIFIED?\n\nThere should be a t rained and certified operator at any pool facility. If the routine mainten ance is provided by a third party service company (the majority of Cyprus pool operators) then the pool operator should be qualified. The owner or m anager of a facility or the person responsible for the pool should have a comprehensive knowledge of statutes\, administrative codes\, regulations a nd common practices. The CPO certified pool and spa operators training pro gramme provides this education base.\n\nThe course is a 2 day intensive t raining seminar with an examination at the end lasting around 2 / 3 hours\ , as well as homework on the first day. The successful candidates must att ain a minimum score of 75% to be accredited with the C.P.O operator’s li cences.\n\nASSESSMENT CERTIFICATION:\n\nThe NSPF\, (National swimming pool foundation) C.P.O training course is the most respected pool and spa main tenance course in the world with over 250\,000 people trained to date.\n\n Once you have successfully achieved the pass rate you will be an accredite d C.P.O operator for a period of 5 years. You will also ( in that period ) have direct access to your instructors for added information \, advice an d guidance when required as well as information relayed to you on a regula r basis from the NSPF.\n\nOur aim is to help rather than tell you what to do \, all pools react differently depending on various factors and nobody will know that individual pool or installation better than you the pool ma intenance 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 PR ESENTER: Mr Tony Bell TBA\, NSPF Instructor\n\n 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
