American Pool Service Receives CMAHC Certification

American Pool Service’s Aquatics Vision Program Recently Received Certification from The Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code

Phoenix—American Pool Service’s Aquatics Vision program has achieved Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC) Certification for its compliance with standards in the latest edition of the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC).

Aquatics Vision is designed to provide around-the-clock protection by automating pool functions and capturing an accurate historical log of water chemistry. The program continually monitors and adjusts a spa’s or pool’s chemistry – comparable to having a dedicated onsite technician.

“Receiving this important certification validates our emphasis on the highest standards for health and safety in and around pool environments,” says Dan Lawler, Executive Vice President, U.S. Commercial Services Group, American Pool. “American Pool strives to provide safe and fun aquatics experiences to all our clients. This certification from CMAHC reinforces our position to operate every pool environment based on the best available standards and practices for protecting public health. Additionally, it validates the essential need to monitor and adjust pool chemistry automatically and remotely to meet all local legal requirements with a focus on public health benefits for our patrons.”

Launched in 2018, the CMAHC certification program helps educate the public about products and services that meet the strict, science-based standards in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC). If followed, the guidance in the MAHC helps reduce the risk for disease outbreaks, drownings, and chemical injuries at public aquatic facilities. The CMAHC awards certification to services or products that comply with the relevant or applicable standards in the latest MAHC edition.

CMAHC certification is not a single occurrence. Instead, the intent is to build a long-term quality control partnership. After initial certification, the CMAHC re-evaluates each certified service or product annually to ensure it continues to meet the same high standards required in the MAHC to maintain certification. Services or products that earn a CMAHC certification are said to be “CMAHC certified” and may display the CMAHC certification emblem to demonstrate they have been evaluated for conformance with the requirements in the latest MAHC edition.
