With the PPG Academy, PPG Belgium puts its promise of “Supporting Pool Builders” into practice. From January to March 2027, professional pool builders can once again attend free, hands-on training sessions. The aim: to share knowledge that fits their day-to-day work and that they can apply straight away during the 2027 pool season.
Pool builders work every day with a wide range of techniques, products and installations. The PPG Academy is built around that reality. The programme offers room to refresh familiar topics, zoom in on specific applications or further refine a technique. Clear explanations, practical points of attention and participants’ own questions are at the heart of every session.
For PPG Belgium, sharing knowledge is part of Supporting Pool Builders. That promise runs through its day-to-day support: from the range of pool components to service and technical advice. With the PPG Academy, the company shares practical know-how that helps pool builders start the new season well prepared.
Water treatment: from the basics to specific situations
The Water Treatment Basics course covers the key water parameters: pH, chlorine, alkalinity, water hardness and stabiliser. Classic chlorine disinfection, salt electrolysis and the safe use of chemicals are also on the agenda.
Advanced Water Treatment builds on this, focusing on more complex situations. Using concrete examples such as cloudy or green water and faults in the treatment system, participants discuss how to recognise the causes and take the right measures. Completing the basic course first is strongly recommended.
Practical points for installation and maintenance
The Heat Pumps course covers installation, wiring and settings for heating and cooling. Participants look at the specific features of the Fairland and Pool Power Package ranges and learn how to troubleshoot using error codes.
The Fairland Family: iGarden Controller & Mr. Pure Pro session focuses on pool control and water treatment. Topics include the connection options, compatibility, Wi-Fi connection and app of the iGarden Central Controller, as well as the technical features of the Mr. Pure Pro full-inverter salt electrolysis system.
The Aseko range course is all about installing, configuring and integrating ASIN AQUA units. The ASIN AQUA PRO series and how to interpret alarm codes are also covered. As in every course, there is room for specific questions and troubleshooting.
From configuring covers to welding liners
The MY AQUADECK course shows how pool builders can configure automatic covers in 3D, add options and use the automatic price calculation. It also covers the price-free view for customer meetings, technical documentation and order tracking.
At RENOLIT, hands-on practice takes centre stage in Liner Welding Basic and Advanced. The basic course is designed for participants with little or no experience in liner welding. In a simulated pool environment, the pool builders practise with PVC liner, welding strips and corner finishes.
The follow-up course works in small groups on more complex applications such as straight and diagonal steps and roller shutter boxes, giving participants the opportunity to refine their welding technique further. Prior attendance of the basic course is required.
