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 was measured at 210 ppm. Alkalinity should be maintained between 80-120 ppm according to the BC Pool Regulation. Corrective Action: Adjust and maintain the alkalinity within the range of 80-120 ppm. |
101 | Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: pH was measured at 7.85. This is above the required range according to the BC Pool Regulation of 7.2 -7.8. Corrective Action: Adjust and maintain the pH between 7.2-7.8. |
101 | Critical Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity Observation: Free Chlorine was measured at .13 ppm. Free chlorine must be maintained at a minimum of 1.5 ppm to provide adequate disinfection to the pool. Corrective Action: Adjust and maintain free chlorine levels at a minimum of 1.5 ppm. |
205 | Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests Observation: Log of pool chemistry parameters was not maintained daily. Pool chemistry tests needs to be done and recorded twice daily for chlorine and pH, and twice weekly for total alkalinity. Corrective Action: Ensure log book and testing of parameters is consistent and recorded. |
401 | Note Violation Observation: Permit was not posted in the pool room. The operating permit must be posted in a prominent location for patrons to see. Corrective Action: Place permit in a visible location in the pool room. |
