It's rarely required by state law, but in practice most pool service companies can't work without it: general contractors, landlords, property managers, and venues almost always require a certificate showing $1M/$2M, additional insured for HOAs before you set foot on the job.
What does GL cover for a pool technician?
It covers third-party bodily injury, third-party property damage, and products/completed-operations claims. For example: chemical mishandling damages a pool surface or equipment. It does not cover your own tools or vehicles, or employee injuries — those are covered by inland marine, commercial auto, and workers' comp.
How fast can a pool technician get a Certificate of Insurance?
For eligible classes that bind online, you can download a COI within minutes of purchase — naming the specific GC, landlord, or venue that's requiring it. If your operation needs a specialist, an Arace agent turns certificates around fast.
Is a certificate of insurance the same as being insured?
No — a COI is proof of an active policy, not the coverage itself. You need a bound GL policy first; then we issue certificates (including additional-insured endorsements) to whoever your contract requires.
