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: Alkalinity measured 21 ppm at the time of inspection. Corrective Action: Raise alkalinity to between 80-120 ppm immediately, and monitor to ensure it remains in this range. Failure to do so will result in uncontrollable pH fluctuations. |
205 | Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests Observation: Taylor test kit was observed to be significantly discoloured with black residue. This could result in erroneous measurements of pool chemistry. Corrective Action: Clean or replace compacitator/tube apparatus. |
308 | Improper Step and/or Depth Markings Observation: Steps and ledges are not marked in contrasting colours. This is a repeat infraction. Corrective Action: Steps and ledges must be tiled in contrasting colours to prevent trips and falls. This must be completed by March 2016 (one year from today's date, March 6, 2015). |
401 | Note Violation Observation: Backwash is done 2x per week. This is much too often and will reduce filter efficiacy. Corrective Action: Backwash only when pressure of filter reaches 10psi greater than pressure immediately following a backwash. Doing backwashes too frequently significantly reduces the filtering efficiency. |
