  1. Monitoring Inspection

    3 infractions

    • 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • pH initially measured at 6.6; low alkalinity (9ppm) could be causing instability in pH levels. Re-tested at 6.8. Correct alkalinity and ensure pH remains between 6.8 and 7.6 and consistent with controller readings.
    • 05. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
      • Alkalinity measured at 9ppm. Adjust and retest.
    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • April 28/26: Flow observed at 59gpm. FLOW CURRENTLY AT APPROXIMATELY 63 GPM, MINIMUM TURNOVER REQUIRES 70GPM (GREATER THAN FILTRATION RATE OF SAND FILTER). IF WATER QUALITY OR CLARITY ISSUES ARE IDENTIFIED, UPGRADES WILL BE REQUIRED.
