Inspection summary

Canalta St. Paul - Whirlpool has been inspected 11 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since December 18, 2023. The most recent inspection, on October 14, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

2 of 11 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 6 inspections with 5 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Chemicals and toxic substances, Pool and spa water quality and Food temperature control.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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.

  • 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 6 separate inspections, most recently on October 14, 2026. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 7 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on April 9, 2026. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

    Recorded once on October 14, 2026. For example: Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?

  7. Demand Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 03. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
      • Sample 25EN-218E00174 has an HPC of 170 CFU/mL which could indicate possible contamination of the water. I spoke with the pool operator Dishant. He stated the water was cloudy. After collecting the sample the whirlpool was drained, cleaned and then refilled. The pool chemical parameters as of 8-Aug-2025 are satisfactory and a sample will be submitted as usual next week.
  8. Monitoring Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 05. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
      • Total Alkalinity is higher than 180 ppm. Higher Total Alkalinity increase pool PH and make pool water cloudy.Please adjust Total Alkalinity between the range 60 ppm to 180 ppm.*repeated violation 5/12/25
  9. Monitoring Inspection

    4 infractions

    • 03. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
      • HPC > 57,000Operator indicated that the pool is currently being drained, scrubbed, disinfected and refilled as part of routine maintenance. Another water sample will be submitted ASAP.
    • 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • PH is at 6.6. Low PH causes eye irritation, dry skin and irritation to swimmers. It also corrodes metal surfaces and pool accessories.Please adjust PH between the range 6.8 to 7.6
    • 05. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
      • Total Alkalinity is higher than 180 ppm. Higher Total Alkalinity increase pool PH and make pool water cloudy.Please adjust Total Alkalinity between the range 60 ppm to 180 ppm.
    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • Calculated turn over period is 21.8 min. High turnover period causes pollution build-up in pool.Please fix circulation system and ensure the turnover rate around 15 min.
