A pool plant operators’ primary function is to maintain the quality of swimming pools, spas and other water features. This maintenance can only be undertaken by certified pool plant operators to ensure the highest quality of all related water features for both public and private client use. Oftentimes, swimming pools have much higher running costs due to operator error and a lack of knowledge and understanding.
