For customers, training is available at all levels including management, technician and operator.
Courses are available on a wide range of topics including water chemistry, treatment processes, analytical techniques and maintenance as well as specific training for customer's own systems.
In addition, examples of many Vivendi Water Systems products are fully plumbed-in and installed in a wet area.
This enables hands-on operator training, which includes an explanation of each component's function, a review of operating and maintenance manuals and instruction on how to maintain accurate records.
The new training centre is a listed building, Haarlem House, which was built in 1840 for the manager of the adjacent Haarlem Mill (now home to the Vivendi Water Systems Service Operations Centre).
Originally a felt fulling mill, it was converted to cotton spinning in 1778 by Richard Arkwright and was reputedly the first textile mill in the country to use water power.
From 1814 the Mill Manager was Samuel Evans, the uncle of novelist George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans).
She frequently stayed with her uncle and aunt, and Haarlem Mill was the setting for many of her novels including the Mill on the Floss and Adam Bede.
Later, when steam boilers were installed, water could be pumped from below the waterwheel back to the pond at times when water levels were low - an early example of water conservation.
An appropriate home for a Training Centre dedicated to the efficient use of water and water treatment technology.
