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 measured 1.67 ppm at the time of inspection; the concentration may not exceed 1.0 ppm or skin/eye/lung irritation of swimmers may result.
Corrective Action: Perform dilution or breakpoint chlorination to reduce and maintain combined chlorines below 1.0 ppm.
101   Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: pH measured 8.0 at the time of inspection. pH exceeding the 7.2-7.4 range increases risk of recreational water illness.
Corrective Action: Reduce pH and maintain between 7.2-7.4; do not allow to exceed 7.8 at any time.
205   Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests
Observation: Water testing results are inconsistent with results generated by EHO by Palintest (property of NH) or by operator's test kit.
Corrective Action: Ensure at least one person is present on site who is trained in a Pool Operator's Course.
307   Improper Storage of Chemicals
Observation: Observed chemical containers being re-used for storage of different chemicals. This practice may result in formation of toxic fumes or fires.
Corrective Action: Cease this practice immediately. Do not re-use chemical containers.
101   Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: Combined chlorine measured 1.67 ppm at the time of inspection; the concentration may not exceed 1.0 ppm or skin/eye/lung irritation of swimmers may result.
Corrective Action: Perform dilution or breakpoint chlorination to reduce and maintain combined chlorines below 1.0 ppm.
