3701-31-04 (B)(4)(a)(i) / Disinfection residuals are tested daily at pool side at required intervals for pools/automatic chemical controllers/special features
Disinfection residuals were not tested daily at pool side and/or at the required intervals for pools/automatic chemical controllers/special features. The chlorine tests are not checked every four hours.
Test the disinfection residual every day before bathers enter the water. Disinfection residual must then be tested every 4 hours when an ACC is not in use. If an ACC is in use the disinfectant residual must be tested every 12 hours while the pool is in use. For spraygrounds and spray features, the disinfectant residual must be tested at 1 spray feature every 6 hours the sprayground or spray feature is in use. Discussed this with the person-in-charge. Check the chlorine residual every four hours.
3701-31-04 (B)(4)(a)(vi) / Total alkalinity is tested weekly
Total alkalinity was not tested weekly.
In order to ensure proper pool chemistry, it is necessary that the operator test total alkalinity at least once/week. Discussed this with the person-in-charge. Check the alkalinity every week.
3701-31-04 (C)(2) / pH is within 7.2 to 7.8
The pH was outside the range of 7.2 to 7.8. The pH was measured at at least 8.0.
In order to ensure proper pool chemistry and reduce the risk of irritation to eyes and mucous membranes, it is necessary that the operator treat the pool water so that the pH is within the acceptable range. Adjust to pH to 7.2 - 8.0.
3701-31-04 (C)(3) / Total alkalinity is at or greater than 60 ppm
Total alkalinity was less than 60 ppm. The alkalinity was measured at 55 ppm. this is too low.
In order to maintain proper pool chemistry, it is necessary that the pool operator maintain the alkalinity. Raise the total alkalinity to at least 60 ppm.
3701-31-04 (E)(2)(e) / Working emergency telephone/call box provided.
Emergency device (telephone) was not working. The emergency telephone was not working - it appeared to be uncharged.
In order to ensure ready access to emergency services when needed, it is necessary that the operator ensure that the emergency device is functioning properly and rings to the emergency response authorities. Discussed this with the person-in-charge. Repair or replace this telephone.
