Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.
Code | Description / Observation / Corrective Action |
101 | Critical Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Cyanuric acid measured greater than 100ppm. Concentrations greater than 80ppm will reduce the effectiveness of chlorine to act as a disinfectant to kill bacteria entering into the pool Corrective Action: Lower the cyanuric acid to less than 80ppm. |
101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Water was turbid, making it difficult to see the pool basin. This was a safety hazard as turbid water would mask swimmers in distress. Corrective Action: Reduce the water turbidity so that the pool basin and the main drain are clearly visible from the deck. |
101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Combined chlorine concentration measured at 1ppm. Concentrations at 1ppm or greater can cause irritation of mucous membranes. Corrective Action: Reduce the combined chlorine concentration to less than 1ppm. |
101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: pH measured less than 7. A pH level less than 7.2 will cause discomfort to swimmers' eyes and skin. Corrective Action: Adjust he pH to 7.2-7.8. |
305 | Improper Maintenance of Pool Surface, Walkways, Floors and/or Construction Observation: Main drain cover was missing. The operator turned off the circulation leading to the main drain so that there wasn't a suction hazard. However, this was still a tripping hazard as swimmers may have their feet caught in the exposed drain. Corrective Action: Replace the drain cover immediately. |
101 | Critical Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Cyanuric acid measured greater than 100ppm. Concentrations greater than 80ppm will reduce the effectiveness of chlorine to act as a disinfectant to kill bacteria entering into the pool Corrective Action: Lower the cyanuric acid to less than 80ppm. |
