Product & system criteria
Well-designed products and systems can help the environment and assist pool and spa owners to save water, energy and money.
Applications for Climate Care Certification follow a process that utilises independent third-party verification by a panel of experts in their field. The panel’s role is to verify the claims made against evidence provided.
Assurance of compliance is necessary to ensure that Products, Systems and Installations are designed, manufactured or installed to meet market and consumer needs, while complying with all relevant Regulations, Standards, Licences and Codes.
SPASA Pool and Spa Builders, Installers, Designers and Service Technicians can also participate in meeting the Climate Care Certification criteria, which may include selecting correct technologies and piping layouts, installing pool covers and variable speed pumps to enhance water efficiency and energy savings.
CCC is a voluntary program, so you know that certified vendors are not only serious about the industry and the environment, they’re also committed to delivering sustainable choices and innovations that help you make informed purchasing decisions — decisions that reduce water and energy consumption and save you money.
