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: pH exceeded regulation level of 7.2 - 7.8, measured at 7.9. Adjust pH levels to meet regulation standards as it determines the effectiveness of chlorine in a pool.
Corrective Action: Rebalance pool chemistry to meet regulations.
101   Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: Total alkalinity measured at 161 ppm. Regulation requires it to be at 80-120 ppm as it affects changes in the pH levels.
Corrective Action: Rebalance the pool to meet a regulatory requirements.
203   Inadequate or Lack of up-to-date Pool Safety Plan
Observation: There is no pool data sheet detailing the specification and equipment of the pool. This information identifies how to run the pool optimally, for example what the flow rate of the pool should be.
Corrective Action: Complete a pool data sheet either by staff, previous records, or have it assessed by a professional.
205  Critical Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests
Observation: Pool is only tested once a day using test strips which are inaccurate for a commercial setting. Pools must be tested for required parameters twice a day using an adequate testing method.
Corrective Action: Test for Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, pH twice a day and Total alkalinity once a day.
