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: pH reading of >8.4 was given by test kit. Water that is too high in pH (over 7.8) results in poor disinfection, scaling and eye irritation. Corrective Action: Adjust pH to be within the range of 7.2 to 7.8 to ensure comfortable and clogging of filters. |
| 101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Total alkalinity of pool water measured at 250ppm. Water with a high total alkalinity results in the inability to control pH of that water due to pH lock, leading to precipitation of material, cloudy water and clogging of filters. Corrective Action: Lower total alkalinity of water to 80 to 120ppm and maintain this range for your pool water. |
| 203 | Inadequate or Lack of up-to-date Pool Safety Plan Observation: Operator unable to provide a pool safety plan tat time of inspection due to not knowing its location. the pool safety plan is a written document that must be available to all workers and complied with so that workers are aware of emergency procedures, routine operating procedures, a list of available equipment and worker contact information. Corrective Action: Provide a written pool safety plan by June 2015. a template will be emailed for use if you are unable to locate previous plan. |
| 205 | Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests Observation: Operator was recording pH and free chlorine only once daily and was not recording combined chlorine. total alkalinity was only being recorded once per month. frequent monitoring and recording of all these parameters is necessary to ensure water is safe for bathers to swim. Corrective Action: Operator was educated on importance of recordings each parameter and will begin recording and monitoring immediately at these frequencies: 2x daily pH, free chlorine, total chlorine, combined chlorine. 1x weekly; total alkalinity. |
| 301 | Improper Pool Enclosure Observation: Floating weir was missing from a skimmer. Skimmers require that floating weir in order to prevent surface contaminants from re-entering the pool. Corrective Action: Install floating weir by __ in order to ensure physically cleaner water. |
| 101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: pH reading of >8.4 was given by test kit. Water that is too high in pH (over 7.8) results in poor disinfection, scaling and eye irritation.
