1 infraction
- 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
- The flow rate was measured at 83 gallons per minute (GPM). The turnover period was calculated to be 4.5 hours. The inspector informed the operator that a 4 hour or less turnover period must be achieved. Thus, the minimum flow rate must be 93 GPM to achieve the required turnover period. Please maintain the flow rate between 93-105 GPM.
