Derrick Golf & Winter Club - Women's Whirlpool
3500 119 Street NW Edmonton AB T6J 5P5 · Aquatic Facility
Inspection summary
Derrick Golf & Winter Club - Women's Whirlpool has been inspected 6 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since October 26, 2023. The most recent inspection, on November 17, 2025, found no infractions.
1 of 6 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 5 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Chemicals and toxic substances.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
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 10 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on November 10, 2025. 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 November 2, 2023. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
About this data

5 infractions
- 02. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
- the sample 25EN-310E00597 submitted on November 6, 2025, was unsatisfactory: Total coliforms were present and HPC 230.
- 03. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
- the sample 25EN-310E00597 submitted on November 6, 2025, was unsatisfactory: Total coliforms were present and HPC 230.
- 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
- Rate of filtration for the filtration system was 15.26 gpm/sq ft based on a flow rate 110 gpm and a filtration area of 7.155 sq ft. According to the filter data plate, the maximum flow rate allowed by the manufacturer is 100.8 gpm for commercial application, while the observed flow rate was 110 gpm. Therefore, the flow rate cannot exceed 100 gpm (which will result in the rate of filtration 13.97 gpm/ft2), if the chemical and microbiological parameters can be maintained, or the flow rate must be lowered to 90 gpm to provide the rate of filtration 12.5 gpm/ft2.
- 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
- The recirculation pump flow meter was not operational: turnover period and rate of filtration could not be confirmed. Please repair or replace the flow meter.
- 12. Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Critical)?
- According to the new Anti-Entrapment Compliance Plan, new covers Aquastar 914101 have maximum flow rate allowed 250 gpm but total flow rate that can be produced by the system is 286 gpm (as per new Anti-Entrapment Compliance Plan). At the time of the inspection, the flow meters were not operating properly. Ensure that the flow rate for the system does not exceed the maximum allowed flow rate for the main drain covers.
