What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.
Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk
For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.
Recorded 14 times across 12 separate inspections, most recently on September 17, 2026. For example:
Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk
Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.
Recorded 7 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on May 28, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.
Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 26, 2025. For example:
Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?

- 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
- The chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid, CYA) concentration in the hot tub water was measured at greater than 100 ppm, exceeding the acceptable limit.- CYA levels must be maintained below 50 ppm, with a recommended target of less than 20 ppm to ensure effective disinfection. Due to the elevated CYA concentration, the whirlpool was temporarily closed to allow for draining, refilling, and chemical rebalancing of the water.
- 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
- The automatic chemical controller was not working properly. It showed a pH level of 8.4, but manual tests done by both the inspector and the operator showed the pH was actually around 7.4. - The pH probe needs to be calibrated, repaired, or replaced to make sure the controller is working correctly and giving accurate results.
- 16. Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
- No CYA (cyanuric acid) testing results were recorded in the maintenance logbook for the week.CYA testing must be done at least once per week, especially after water replacement and rebalancing.

- 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
- The free available chlorine in the whirlpool water was tested to be too low, <2 ppm. - The whirlpool was closed immediately after the test. Chlorine was manually added to the whirlpool water. - Ensure FAC is maintained within the required range to ensure adequate disinfection is provided.
- 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
- The automated chemical controller was found to be not maintained in good working condition. Specifically: The ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) set point was set too low at 500 mV, which is below recommended levels for effective disinfection. Air bubbles were observed inside the probe chamber, potentially affecting sensor accuracy.During the inspection, the operator adjusted the system and removed the air bubbles. Calibration and validation of the automated chemical controller are still required to ensure accurate and reliable operation.
- 16. Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
- The valid reagent for water chlorine testing is not available. - Ensure the reagent is available and adequate and proper testing is conducted.
