- 02. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
- Operator, Ken, stated that the pool has been shock chlorinated, water chemistry is balanced. The pool has not been used for the past week and will only be open for another week and will close for the season.

- 02. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
- TC present. Operator advised to shock chlorinate the pool. The weather has been extremely hot this past week and the pool has likely been heavily used. HPC isolated as well.
- 05. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
- Color Q test kit available, new reagents in place expire 2024. Operator is monitoring the chemical parameters three times a day and recording. The pool was filled with well water. Please have reagent to test cyanuric acid. Parameters at the time of the inspection using Pool Lab 1.0 were:Inspectors: pH 7.0; FAC 4.64; TC 4.74 ppm; CC 0.10, ALK - high (reads from 0-200 ppm), CYN 11 ppmOperators' values pH 7.5, alk - high, FAC 5.5, TC 5.7Hayward auto controller in place pH 7.4, ORP 735Alkalinity exceeds the 60-180 ppm range. Alkalinity acts as a buffer in pool water - it is a measure of the water's ability to resist change. If alkalinity is too high, then the water may be over buffered which can cause the pH of the pool to gradually rise (pH drift), reducing the effectiveness of chlorine. It can also lead to a buildup of calcium in the water and cloudy water. Please reduce levels to within the 60-180 ppm range. Adding acid (Slugging acid) in 3-4 areas around the pool creates an acid column that will lower the alkalinity in each area immediately. This will reduce the pH in a small volume of water that will then mix with the remainder of the pool water and decrease alkalinity. Sodium bisulfate will reduce the pH which will also help neutralize the alkalinity. Aiming for a pH of 7.0-7.2 will also help optimize chlorine efficiency. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions. The cause for the increased alkalinity may be from the chemical make-up of the well water that was used to fill the pool. Cyanuric acid can also affect total alkalinity. - please keep this in mind when you top up the pool as adjustments will likely be required. There are Alkalinity Adjusting tables available - I will provide you with an example by email. Actions:1) Reduce alkalinity immediately2) Purchase reagent to test cyanuric acid and test at least once per week
