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: The combined chlorine is greater than 1ppm in the pool. It has been recorded as greater than 1ppm over the last week. No corrective actions have been recorded to correct the combined chlorine.
Corrective Action: The pool should be closed to superchloriante and re-balance the water.
203   Inadequate or Lack of up-to-date Pool Safety Plan
Observation: A pool safety plan was not available during the inspection. I asked workers what they would do in the event of that pool fouling and they were unaware of what actions to take.
Corrective Action: Ensure a pool safety plan is created and available. It should be available to all person who may be involved in the pool actions or may be reported a pool incident by a patron.
208   Improper Maintenance of Records
Observation: The pool records indicated that the chemistry is being tested once time per day. Chlorine, combined chlorine, and pH are required to be tested at least twice daily.
Corrective Action: Ensure chemical check are completed twice daily, at minimum. It should be tested more often in time of heavy use.
