Why this course

This course is for experienced pool technicians looking to advance their knowledge of water chemistry, troubleshoot complex issues, and optimise treatment across a range of pool environments. You already know how to test and dose a pool. This course goes deeper into why water behaves the way it does, so you can solve the problems that keep coming back, such as persistent cloudiness, scaling, corrosion or chlorine that won't hold. Learners will revisit the safety requirements and standards for chemical handling, refine their water testing practices, and build a more considered approach to water treatment that looks at the whole system rather than a single reading. The result is better-balanced water, fewer callbacks and clients who trust your advice.
