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: FAC measured 1.30 ppm at the time of inspection. Minimum required chlorine concentration is 1.50 ppm; ideal range is 3-5 ppm. Corrective Action: Immediately increase chlorine concentration to at least 1.5 ppm and maintain at this level. Test at least twice per day to ensure concentration remains adequate. |
| 101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Combined chlorines measured 1.30 ppm at the time of inspection; maximum allowable concentration is 1.00 ppm. Increased CC levels may cause eye, skin, and/or lung irritation. Corrective Action: Perform breakpoint chlorination or drain and refill tub to eliminate conbined chlorines. Ensure to monitor combined chlorines and never allow them to exceed 1.00 ppm. |
| 101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: pH measured 7.9 at the time of inspection. pH is not permitted to exceed 7.8; ideal range is 7.2 - 7.4. pH in excess of 7.8 significantly reduces the ability of chlorine to disinfect the pool and increases the risk of swimmer illness. Corrective Action: Reduce pH with an acid to below 7.8 (7.2 - 7.4 is ideal) and monitor to ensure it remains within this value. |
| 205 | Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests Observation: Clear evidence of insufficient chemical monitoring. FAC, CC, and pH were all outside of accepted ranges. Automatic controllers are not functional, so manual testing is required. Corrective Action: Ensure the pool is tested a minimum of twice dailer. Also ensure that when a parameter is found to be outside of acceptable ranges, that it is corrected immediately. Due to recurrent chemistry issues, you are required to have your automatic controller fully operational within 2 weeks. |
