5 of 11 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 and Chemicals and toxic substances.

The last 3 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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on May 8, 2024. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 8, 2024. 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 May 8, 2024. For example: Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?

    • 02. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • Pseudomonas isolated from sample submitted on May 6
    • 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • Inspector's readings from a sample collected from the hot tub basin:**Free chlorine-0.28ppm**Combine Chlorine - 1.52ppm-Total chlorine - 1.80ppm- pH-7.29- ALK - 70ppmReadings from a sample collected from the controller's tap- Free chlorine - 0.28ppm- Combine Chlorine - 0.57ppm- Total Chlorine - 0.84ppm- pH - 7.31- ALK - 75ppmReadings displayed on the controller at the time of the test: ORP-825mV; pH-6.8From the test results:- The free chlorine was significantly low and most of the chlorine in the basin was in the form of combine chlorine.- The test results were significantly different from those displayed on the controller. The readings from a sample collected in the mechanical room were also significantly different from that collected from the basinRECOMMENDED ACTIONS:1) Super chlorinate / shock chlorinate the pool to get rid of the high combine chlorine in the basin2) Clean and calibrate the probes to ensure that the readings on the controller and basin are as closed as possible3) Maintain free chlorine at 2ppm.
    • 16. Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
      • ** The operator is not properly documenting pool chemistry records:- Example: On March 26/2024, pool chemistry was documented as follows: Free chlorine-0.43ppmppm; Total chlorine-0.04ppm and Combine chlorine - 0.39ppm. ** Total chlorine cannot be less than free chlorine because total chlorine is the sum of free and combine chlorine**. This practice was observed during past inspections and consistent in the March, April and May records.- Pool chemistry is not checked and documented after manual addition of chemicals in the pool.- There are no time stamps on the pool chemistry recordsACTION REQUIRED:1) Ensure that pool chemistry is properly documented.2) Ensure that a follow up pool chemistry test is done after manual addition of chemicals in the pool3) Ensure that the time pool test was conducted is documented on the records
