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: The chemical testing for the pool was performed at 10:30 am. Two tests were performed from the water collected from the pool at two opposite sides. The test results revealed high combine chlorine levels of 2.29 ppm and high pH level of 8.03. pH must be maintained at 7.2 -7.8 with a goal of achieving 7.4. Normal pH range for the hot tub water is 7.2 -7.8 and when the pH is above 7.8 it decreases the effectiveness of chlorine as a disinfectant and may cause eye and skin irritation to the patrons. Combined chlorine levels above 1 ppm can cause skin and eye irritation, dryness, and itchiness. Additionally, it can lead to respiratory problems when the chlorine is inhaled in the form of vapour or mist and skin issues in pool patrons. Corrective Action: This is a critical hazard and the pool remains closed until the water is shock chlorinated/completely drained and chemical parameters are readjusted. The combined chlorine levels must be less than 1 ppm and the range for optimal pH levels must fall between 7.2 to 7.8 |
