    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • To achieve a 15 minute turnover, the recirculation flow rate should be 107gpm. The current filters (two TA-60 Tagelus filters, have a maximum flow rate of 78gpm). Current flow is recorded in daily records as 50gpm (less than half of what is required). Pump curve of 3HP Whisperflo Pentair WFET-12 indicates more flow should be achievable (max 160gpm). ** Please provide our office with a written plan to improve both recirculation rate and filtration for this hot tub (plans should be completed by engineer or qualified individual).
