Inspection summary

Prairie Moon Inn & Suites - Slide Pool has been inspected 8 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 27, 2023. The most recent inspection, on July 24, 2026, recorded 6 infractions.

3 of 8 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 7 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. For example: Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 2 times on July 24, 2026. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?

  • 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 once on July 24, 2026. For example: Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. For example: Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.

    Recorded once on July 24, 2026. For example: Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?

8 inspections

  1. Monitoring Inspection

    6 infractions

    • 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • Observed from the controller:ORP: 705 mVpH: 7.75Measured testing results:Free chlorine: 2.71ppmTotal chlorine: 3.17ppmCombined chlorine: 0.46ppmpH: 7.59Temp: 29.5°CClarity: clearCDI: During the inspection, the controller indicated a pH of 7.75. The operator adjusted the acid feed through the chemical controller to lower the pH. Subsequent readings indicated the pH was decreasing, and the operator later provided photographic verification confirming the pH was within the acceptable operating range. Ensure the pool pH is maintained between 6.8 and 7.6 at all times to optimize disinfectant effectiveness and bather comfort.
    • 05. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
      • Measured testing results: Total Alkalinity: 190 ppm Total alkalinity was measured at 190 ppm, which exceeds the recommended operating range of 60 to 180 ppm. CDI: During the inspection, the operator adjusted the acid feed through the chemical controller. Following the adjustment, total alkalinity decreased to 165 ppm and was restored to within the acceptable operating range. Ensure total alkalinity is maintained between 60 and 180 ppm to support proper water balance and effective disinfection.
    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • Observed flow: 80GPMPool Volume: 14,601GallonsPool volume: 14,601 gallons/ 80 GPM =182.513min / 60 min per hour =3.0419 hours.This is satisfactory.Sand filters of pool: Pentair 30" Triton® II Side Mount Sand Filter TR100, Almond | 140210 Surface area of filter: 4.91 sq.ftMaximum Filtration rate for filter: 80 GPMMaximum rate of filtration: 80GPM/4.91 sq.ft = 16.29 GPM/sq.ftEnsure the filtration rate does not exceed 15 GPM/sq. ft. and that the filtration system is operated in accordance with the Pool Standards and approved design specifications.
    • 14. Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
      • Debris and dust accumulation were observed on the pool bottom at the time of inspection. CDI: The operator promptly vacuumed the pool during the inspection, and the affected areas were cleaned. Water clarity remained satisfactory throughout the inspection.Ensure routine cleaning and maintenance are conducted to prevent the accumulation of debris and to maintain safe and sanitary pool conditions.
    • 16. Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
      • Testing records were maintained and generally reflected satisfactory pool operation. However, records indicated that total alkalinity was being tested approximately twice per month rather than at least weekly, as required to adequately monitor pool water chemistry and ensure water quality is maintained.Ensure all required water quality parameters, including total alkalinity, are tested and recorded at the required frequency to adequately monitor and maintain whirlpool water quality.
    • 17. Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?
      • As per anti-entrapment plan, the outlet cover is expired past it's 7-year life span from manufacturer (October 9, 2023).Written Policies available:Patron Education and NotificationSafety and Supervision Plan General Sanitation PlanWater Quality Incident Responses PlanAnti-Entrapment Plan (completed: November 29, 2026)
