8 of 17 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality.

The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 16 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 8, 2025. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • The volume of the hot tub is 2000G. Flow meter was observed to be at 55 GPM at the time of inspection. The turnover rate of the hot tub is 2000G/55 GPM = 36 minutes.The gauge for the sand filters were read at 11 psi. The sand filter of the whirlpool is a Triton II High-Rate Sand Filter. There are two sand filters connected to the pump. Surface area of the filter is 4.19 sq ft. The max filtration rate is 15 GPM/sq ft as stated on the manufacturer's spec plate. The max filtration flow rate is 74 GPM as again per the manufacturer's spec plate. The current rate of filtration: 55 GPM/8.38 sq ft = 6.56 GPM/sq ft. The automated controller in the maintenance room was reading at 727 mV for ORP and a pH of 7.28.Please ensure filtration rate for the pool is not too fast to allow adequate disinfection process and to maintain pool water quality.
    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • Flow Meter Reading: 60 GPM Filtration: Turnover Rate: 2000/60 = 33 minutes. This appeared to be too slow. Hot tub volume is 2000 GPM (7470 L), the turnover needs to be every 20 minutes or 72 times a day. There are two Triton II High-Rate sand filters connected to the pump. Surface area of the filter is 4.19 sq ft each.The max filtration rate is 15 GPM/sq ft as stated on the manufacturer's spec plate. The max filtration flow rate is 74 GPM as again per the manufacturer's spec plate. The current rate of filtration: 60 GPM/8.38 sq ft = 7.16 GPM/sq ft which is within the max rate of filtration of 12.5 US gpm/sq ft. Note: Min flow rate 2000 gal/.25 hours/60 min/hour = 133.3 gpm.**Please ensure to increase the flow to at least 100 gpm to meet the 20-minute turnover requirement. This will increase the maximum rate of filtration to 11.93 gpm/sq ft which is still within range of the filter specifications.
