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

Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
101  Critical Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: Combined chlorine (CAC) concentration exceeded 1.0ppm.
Corrective Action: Combined chlorine concentration must be maintained below 1.0ppm. Close pool immediately. Breakpoint chlorinate as soon as possible. Before reopening, rebalance pool and verify proper water chemistry parameters. If CAC concentrations often exceed 1.0ppm, then consider upgrading treatment system to include UV, or consider using an oxidizing chemical (eg. Potassium Monopersulfate). Approval from the local Environmental Health Officer must be granted before any significant changes are made to the treatment system.
