Why these credentials matter for Boca Raton, Delray Beach & HOA boards

South Florida is one of the densest concentrations of public pools in the country — condos, HOAs, hotels, country clubs, gyms, and apartment complexes are all required by Florida Administrative Code 64E-9.018 and Florida Statute Chapter 514 to use a Florida DOH-approved certified technician. The FPPS is one of only a handful of courses that satisfies that rule.

Hiring an uncertified technician for a public pool isn't just risky — it puts the property's DOH operating permit at risk. Property managers and HOA boards should verify certification before any vendor begins service.
