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: Free chlorine measured at 1.13 ppm does not meet regulatory requirements for pools >30°C.
Corrective Action: Correct pool chemistry so that the chlorine is at 1.5 ppm (minimum) and ideally at approximately 3 ppm/
101  Critical Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: pH is at 7.02 and does not meet the regulatory range of 7.2 - 7.8. pH that is too low can irritate swimmers and and if it is too high, it can decrease the effectiveness of chlorine.
Corrective Action: Correct pool chemistry so that pH levels are between 7.2 - 7.8.
101   Improper Water Chemistry/Water Clarity
Observation: Total alkalinity is at 19 ppm which is below the regulatory range of 80-120 ppm. Low alkalinity can lead to wild fluctuations in pH in the pool.
Corrective Action: Ensure alkalinity is balanced and is in the range of 80 - 120 ppm.
