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 was measured at 6.85 at the time of the inspection. pH below 7.0 can lead to skin and eye irritation of pool patrons. Corrective Action: Ensure that pH is kept between the regulatory requirements of 7.2 to 7.8 pH. |
101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Alkalinity was measured at 60 ppm. Public Health significance - low alkalinity can lead to pH swings. Corrective Action: Ensure that alkalinity is maintained between 80 to 120 ppm. |
205 | Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests Observation: Operator is only measuring free available chlorine and pH once per day. Furthermore, the majority of the reagents for testing water chemistry were expired at the time of the inspection. Corrective Action: Free available chlorine and pH need to be measured at least twice per day. Expired reagents need to be replaced. |
306 | Improper Handrails, Ladders, and/or Diving Boards Observation: The ladder in the deep end of the pool was damaged, and is a drowning/slipping hazard. At the time of the inspection there was a sign stating the ladder can only be used by children. Corrective Action: Replace or repair the ladder. |
