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: Total Alkalinity measured at 42 ppm. Regulations require it to be between 80-120 ppm
Corrective Action: Total alkalinity affects the fluctuation of pH, which affects disinfection effectiveness, Ensure it is within regulatory range to maintain pH balance.
208   Improper Maintenance of Records
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.
305   Improper Maintenance of Pool Surface, Walkways, Floors and/or Construction
Observation: Flow meter and pressure gauge on hot-tub sand filter doesn't appear to be working. The flow meter determines when to backwash and identifies problems with the pool circulation system.
Corrective Action: Install a working flow meter and pressure gauge. This is a repeat violation. Have this done by a professional if needed.
