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

Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
402  Critical Inadequate pH controls
Observation: Due to manual addition of bleach the pH remains excessively high @ approximately 8.5. At this pH only approximately 10% of the chlorine is in a form that disinfects effectively. Poor disinfection increases the risk of transmission of infectious diseases.
Corrective Action: Must be corrected.
403  Critical Water too cloudy
Observation: Pool water clarity could be better.
Corrective Action: Reduced clarity may be due to addition of calcium hyprochlorite to pool.
413  Critical Other (specify below)
Observation: Continued violation of Order issued August/2005 regarding lack of automatic disinfection equipment. August 2005 order stands.
Corrective Action: A new Order will be issued as of today to submit plans/drawings of chlorination system to Michael Wu for approval by April 18/06. Installation of approved design by May 2/06.
417   Inadequate maintenance of pool equipment
Observation: 1. Weirs missing from all 3 skimmer baskets. One skimmer basket was floating up-side-down. 2. Water on pump room floor - duct tape applied to hair/lint strainer connection.
