- 05. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
- Alkalinity measured at 48ppm. Ensure alkalinity is kept between 60 and 180ppm; sodium bicarbonate may need to be added more frequently.
- 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?
- Current anti-entrapment plan indicates there is one filter pump (66gpm), 1 jet pump (52gpm), and one waterfall pump (63gpm) and two interconnected suction outlets (main drains). If jet pump is working, this would exceed the flow rate currently specified on drain covers (max 125gpm). If there are only 2 outlets, each outlet cover would need to be able to handle 100% of the flow. When replacing covers in 2023, ensure they are replaced with covers that allow adequate flow and confirm drains are interconnected and serve filters, jets, and waterfall.
