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: CAC measured 1.8 ppm at time of inspection. Maximum allowable concentration is 1.0 ppm. Corrective Action: Pool was drained at time of inspection and refilled to eliminate combined chlorines. Monitor to ensure level remains below 1.0 ppm. |
| 104 | Improper Turnover of Flow Rate Observation: Flow meter not functional at time of inspection. Corrective Action: Repair or replace flow meter to ensure accurate monitoring of flow rate. |
| 205 | Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests Observation: Chemical parameter testing kit observed to have significant black residue, which may impact ability to monitor chemistry. Corrective Action: Replace or clean to condition kit was originally in. |
| 305 | Improper Maintenance of Pool Surface, Walkways, Floors and/or Construction Observation: Pressure gauge not functional on spa sand filter. Corrective Action: Replace gauge or service filter as necessary to monitor filter pressure. |
| 308 | Improper Step and/or Depth Markings Observation: Steps are not edged with contrasting colours. Corrective Action: This is required by legislation to prevent trips, falls, and drowning. Ensure steps are edged with contrasting colours by March 6, 2016. |
| 401 | Note Violation Observation: Backwashing done every week. This frequency is too often, and reduces filter efficacy. Corrective Action: Backwash when filter pressure rises 10psi above starting pressure, as per manufacturer instructions. |
