- 12. Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Critical)?
- November 15, 2025: The flow rate for the whirlpool jets must not exceed 90 GPM to be in compliance with the anti-entrapment plan. However, the flow meter was corroded, and the gauge was stuck at the bottom, thus an accurate reading could not be taken.December 3, 2024: No change.June 18, 2025: Issue has occurred again. These flow metres require daily monitoring and replacement if this cannot be reliably addressed. At any time they cannot be read, the jet pump for the whirlpool MUST be turned off.
