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: Combined chlorine more than 1 ppm. High levels of combined chlorine can cause skin and respiratory irritation in swimmers. Regulations require combined chlorine to be less than 1 ppm.
Corrective Action: Drain and dilute the pool or use the superchlorination method to reduce the combined chlorine levels of the pool.
101   Repeat Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: pH at 7.93, which is slightly higher than the regulatory maximum of 7.8. Ensure the pool pH is between 7.2 - 7.8 to ensure chlorine effectiveness and swimmer comfort.
Corrective Action: Adjust pH to be between 7.2 - 7.8.
104   Improper Turnover of Flow Rate
Observation: Flow rate meter not working at the time of inspection. High flow rates can cause the sand in the filters to be pulled into the pool. The pool had sand visible at the basin.
Corrective Action: Repair the flow meter and confirm that the flow of the pool is at the designed flow rate.
203   Inadequate or Lack of up-to-date Pool Safety Plan
Observation: No pool safety plan or data sheet readily available at the time of inspection.
Corrective Action: Complete the provided templates and have a copy readily available on-site for reference.
