Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.

Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
101   Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: pH is in exceedance of acceptable range (7.2 to 7.8), lowing efficacy of free available chlorine (FAC) for disinfection.
Corrective Action: Add an acid (ex. muriatic acid) to lower pH to acceptable range. Maintain between 7.2 and 7.8.
101   Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: Alkalinity is outside of acceptable range (80 to 120 ppm) reducing the buffer capacity of the pool water.
Corrective Action: Increase alkalinity to meet acceptable range. Maintain between 80 and 120 ppm.
305   Improper Maintenance of Pool Surface, Walkways, Floors and/or Construction
Observation: Skimmer is not operating properly. Skimming action cannot be facilitated as a piece is missing/damaged. So the skimmer basket cannot float and skim simultaneously.
Corrective Action: EHO will look into proper design of skimmer pot and advise on forthcoming corrective action.
