Pool regs and certifications for managing a pool / testing the water

Does anyone know where to find the regs for being certified to care for a pool / pool water quality and testing for the state of Virginia?

I heard you need to be certified to test the water etc....

Andrew:

You need to check with your local health department as to testing requirements. I have been in two different areas, one required testing 3 times a day, the other doesn't. I would recommend keeping a log book and log every test in it. No, you don't have to be certified to test the water, it is relatively easy. However, your pool should be managed by a certified pool operator, whether it is a company you hire or a volunteer. This will give you the training so you know how to deal with different types of filtering systems, what chemicals will do to water and what to do when chemical balance is off. And heck, if I can become one anyone can!

HOATALK is right, that is also another reason for keeping a log book. That way if someone said they got a rash or sick you can check the log book to verify if it was from the chemical level or not. I manage a therapy pool but I don't test the water, I usually drop in a couple times a week, check the log and test the water. The rest of the time the staff that uses the pool checks it.
