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: Water chemistry is not within range that is safe for the public to use. pH is excessively high at above 8.0. This renders the chlorine in the water ineffective for killing bacteria.
Corrective Action: pH needs to be reduced to about 7.2. No pH reducing chemical was available. Operator must acquire some pH reducing products within this week.
101  Critical Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: Cyanuric acid is excessively high at more than 200 ppm. Stabilized chlorine pucks are being used. This is not meant for indoor pools.
Corrective Action: Opreator must switch to non-stabilized chlorine product such as Chlorine Granular (calcium hypochlorite).
