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: Pool chemistry shows cyanuric acid at 83 ppm. Regulation maximum is at 80 ppm. Excessive cyanuric acid prevents chlorine from disinfecting the pool water. Corrective Action: Drain and refill the pool and ensure pool chemistry is adequete. |
103 | Improper Pool Temperature Observation: Hot tub temperature measured at 42°C. This was likely due to the hot tub cover raising the temperature. Corrective Action: Ensure the hot tub is below 40°C to prevent heat stress, fatigue, and illness. Operator removed the cover and allowed the hot tub to cool during the inspection. |
208 | Improper Maintenance of Records Observation: Pool chemistry tests were not conducted properly. Total chlorine, combined chlorine, and cyanuric acid are not tested and recorded in the pool logs. Corrective Action: Free, total, and combined chlorine must be tested twice daily. pH must be tested twice daily. Total alkalinity must be tested at least weekly. Cyanuric acid must be tested at least weekly. |
