Inspection summary

Days Inn & Suites - Whirlpool has been inspected 7 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 13, 2024. The most recent inspection, on August 17, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

None of the 7 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 12 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.

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 8 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on August 17, 2026. For example: Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (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 August 17, 2026. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (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 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on August 17, 2026. For example: Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on August 17, 2026. For example: Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

  • 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 once on January 31, 2026. For example: Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?

7 inspections

  1. Monitoring Inspection

    4 infractions

    • 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • The following readings were recorded during the inspection:pH: 6.77Free Available Chlorine (FCL): 0.07 ppmThe readings indicated that the pool water chemistry was outside the acceptable operating range. The issue was discussed with the operator, and the automatic controller was adjusted to restore and maintain proper water chemistry balance.Follow-up testing was conducted after the adjustments. The water chemistry readings were found to be satisfactory, with the following results:pH: 7.30Free Available Chlorine (FCL): 5.22 ppm
    • 13. Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Non-Critical)?
      • The clock present in the pool is not clearly visible from the whirlpool (small and dark face, hands difficult to discern from a distance). Relocate the existing clock closer to the whirlpool or add another clock which should be clearly visible from the whirlpool.
    • 14. Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
      • The flow meter installed to measure the flow rate of the whirlpool's circulation system was not working at the time of inspection.Repair or replace flow meter so flow rate can be verified. Observation on Aug 17, 2026:The operator has purchased a new flow meter and is currently awaiting a technician appointment for its installation in September.Ensure that the flow meter is installed and fully operational as soon as possible following the technician's visit. Maintain the flow meter in good working condition to facilitate accurate monitoring of circulation system performance and compliance with operational requirements.
    • 17. Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?
      • Written policies and procedures were not available for review for the following required operational plans:1. Anti-Entrapment Plan2. General Sanitation Plan3. Water Quality Incident Response PlanDevelop, maintain and implement written policies and procedures for the above-noted plans. Ensure that the documents are readily available on-site for staff reference and regulatory review and that all relevant staff are familiar with and trained on these procedures.
