3701-31-04 (B)(4) / The licensee /authorized representative is keeping records
The licensee /authorized representative was not keeping or maintaining operational records. The facility was not maintaining accurate records of spa water testing. By the manager's admission the spa water would have no detectable chlorine residual in the morning, and then chlorine would be added to the spa to reach the minimum required disinfection residual. However, disinfection residual records were filled out with 2 ppm everyday, several times a day for weeks on end. This is inconsistent with the manager's account of spa operation.

|---|
| Facility had the automatic chemical controller uninstalled a couple years ago and removed the chlorine chemical feeder. The muriatic acid feeder was still hooked up, but was no longer in use. All chemicals were being added by hand to the pool every day. The facility will be required to replace any uninstalled equipment and provide an equipment replacement form to the state for approval. A warning sign was affixed to the door of the pool area informing the public of the conditions of the pool. The sign may only be removed after the necessary corrections have been made. |
