Official record from Vancouver Coastal →

Inspection summary

Perla (Hot Tub) has been inspected 29 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since May 21, 2015. The most recent inspection, on August 5, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

3 of 29 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 4 inspections with 15 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.

  • Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk

    For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.

    Recorded 51 times across 23 separate inspections, most recently on August 5, 2026. For example: Daily pool records are adequately maintained and available on site

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on August 4, 2026. For example: Chemicals are stored in a safe manner and location

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on January 17, 2023. For example: The pool water temperature is properly maintained

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Pumps, filters, chemical feeders and safety equipment such as lifebuoys, reaching poles and first-aid kits must be present and working. Missing safety equipment can matter a great deal in an emergency.

    Recorded 11 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on August 5, 2026. For example: Pool equipment is regularly tested for safety and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' specifications
