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: Free Available Chlorine was measured at 1.1 ppm at time of inspection. There was a high bather volume when measurements were taken. Alkalinity measeured at 8 should be 80-120ppm.
Corrective Action: Please ensure whirlpool maintains Free Available Chlorine concentration of at lease 1.5ppm (really 3-5ppm) even during busy hours.Adjust the alkalinity accordingly.
104   Improper Turnover of Flow Rate
Observation: Flow meter reading=1100 LPM. Ideal flow rate (5000 Gal whirl pool)=946 LPM
Corrective Action: Please review the ideal flow rates and adjust accordingly so as to avoid creating a suction hazard.
