Denscot Pool & Spa is a proud member of the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance, the North-East Spa & Pool Association, and the Connecticut Pool & Spa Association (a local chapter of NESPA).
Through our membership with these organizations, we are able to pursue industry specific education, certification, and licensing to ensure that our skills are sharp, up to date with the latest state and national regulations and trends, and that we are working safely for the protection of our employees and our clients.
