- 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
- The Free Available Chlorine (FAC) was measured at 1.80 ppm. The inspector informed the operator to maintain the FAC concentration to at least 2.0 ppm at all times.
- 06. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Critical)?
- The flow meter was missing. The operator mentioned that the flow meter was broken and was removed three (3) weeks ago. The inspector informed the operator that the flow meter is crucial in determining the flow rate, filtration rate, and turnover period, which are all important parameters to confirm that the filtration and circulation of the whirlpool is adequate and within the required ranges.**OUTSTANDING (2025-07-10). The flow meter was still missing. However, a service technician was on site during the inspection to install a flow meter. A re-inspection will be conducted to confirm that the flow meter is functional.
