Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.

Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
401  Critical Inadequate concentration of disinfectant
Observation: Concentration is inadequate to allow effective disinfection
Corrective Action: For pools where temperature is maintained >30°C, Free-Allowable Chlorine (FAC) must be >1.5 ppm. FAC should not exceed 10 ppm. It is recommended that FAC be maintained at 3 - 5 ppm
402  Critical Inadequate pH controls
Observation: pH measured > 8.0 (Taylor and Palin test kits)
Corrective Action: Ensure pH is lowered and is maintained at 7.2-7.8
421   Other (specify below)
Observation: Water level too high, causing skimmer and floating weir to be completely submerged.
Corrective Action: Floating weir allows for surface contaminants to be removed effectively. Ensure water level in hot tub is reduced to permit proper functioning of floating weir.
