Text us a pool question!
In this episode of "Mondays Down Under," Lee, an Australian pool expert recently certified as an American CPO (Certified Pool Operator), shares her experience with co-hosts Peter and Shane. While Peter took the course, Shane is completely new to the American way of pool maintenance. Lee explains how the CPO course opened her eyes to the differences in water chemistry and safety approaches.
They discuss the surprising emphasis Americans place on CYA (Cyanuric Acid) levels, which Australians typically handle more casually. Lee clarifies that the American approach isn't necessarily "better," but highlights the importance of learning new perspectives and emphasizes that she feels like a more skilled pool operator after the course. Finally, using the example of a friend's green and cloudy pool, Lee emphasizes the value of understanding the delicate balance of pool chemicals, something the CPO course heavily emphasizes.
