COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING:1. PLEASE HAVE THE STAFF CHECK THE WATER CHEMISTRY IN THIS AREA ONCE A DAY TO MAKE SURE IT IS MIXING ADEQUATELY AND THAT NO DEAD SPOTS ARE BEING CREATED. PERIODICALLY TAKE BACTERIOLOGICAL WATER SAMPLES IN THIS AREA. RECOMMEND RENOVATING THE SKIMMER TO REPLACE THE BLOCKED LINE. **Repairs would require a major renovation and shutdown of facility. Currently none is planned. ***A dye circulation test is scheduled for September to determine extent of pool circulation concerns.

    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • The digital flow meter indicated a flow rate of 545GPM for the swimming pool. Legislation would normally limit this pool to a maximum flow of 375GPM. Pools built before November 2006 may use filter manufacturer specifications to determine maximum flow rate, provided that water quality can be reliably maintained. The high rate sand filter used for this basin indicates a maximum flow rate of 500GPM.Lower the pool circulation system's flow rate to below the maximum flow rate indicated by filter manufacturer specifications.
