Speaker(s)
Description
The first step in Watershape University’s service certification path, this course takes a deep dive into both water quality and water balance. It includes a book with charts, graphs, formulas, and written-out concepts for you to take home with you afterward. Taught by pool chemistry instructor (and host of the Rule Your Pool Podcast), Eric Knight, students will explore the physical nature of water and why it always behaves the way it does. The class also features helpful troubleshooting instructions for the most common water chemistry problems, and how to prevent them before they start.
