- Manual water test results by Public Health Inspector for Total Alkalinity (at beginning of inspection):- Test 1: 37 mg/L- Test 2: 46 mg/L- Test 3: 53 mg/LActions:- Pool operator arrived near the end of inspection and was notified about low total alkalinity.- Total alkalinity was tested again at the end of the inspection and was measured at 60 mg/L.- Told Operator, Manager, and Assistant Manager that Total Alkalinity should be maintained in between 60 - 180 mg/L.- Recommended that they try to maintain total alkalinity a little bit higher to provide room for flexibility.

- *Observed that multiple walls and area nearest the slide to have flaking/ splitting paint/ wall material. Areas included but not limited to but is the larger area is behind the duct work where the ceiling height increases. -Have the walls repaired so that the surface is in good repair and impervious to moisture. *Observed that the steel I beam next to the slide has decent amount of rust and flaking paint and separated wall material. Manager informed that this is already being looked into the steel I beam. -Please provide a copy of the report for the assessment of the steel I beam and have the flaking paint and separated wall material addressed.
- 16. Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
- -site is manually testing more than the required once per day and are testing/ recording typically at least 3 times a day.*Observed that site is not re-testing pool chemistry after corrections are being made or noting of corrections/ action when basins are over company's or regulatory requirements for both basins for the pH. -Have and ensure that staff are following at least the regulatory requirements for the basins' chemical parameters, and that they are documenting corrective actions and re-testing if needed.
