- 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
- Two filters in place FS-6 and FS-7. FS-6 is leaking. As the whirlpool has not been used for a number of years, some challenges are expected. Operator is taking steps to address these issues. Turnover:Recirc flow meter 179 gpm. Pool Volme 1796 gallons. (6800 litres). Pool to turn over 72 times per day or every 20 minutes to meet Standards. Current turnover rate 1796 gal / 179 gpm = 10.3 minutes which is faster than the required 20-minute turnover rate. This is fine as the filter design rates are a maximum flow of 106 gpm. The flow to each filter is equal - therefore: 179 gpm /2 = 90 gpm is going through each filter. You may wish to consider reducing the flow as it may help save on energy costs. Flow meters:Recirculation: 179 gpm. Jet pump 290 gpm. Interconnected - SOFAs - total flow 469 gpmThe leak for filter FS-6 must be repaired by March 27, 2024. All equipment must be in good repair.

- 14. Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
- There are tiles missing in the hot tub basin. Some of the inlets are missing covers - these are not a suction hazard but could be a physical entrapment hazard which can lead to injuries. The skimmers will need to be assessed as there are no covers/floating weirs on the basin side and this could create a physical entrapment hazard.

- 12. Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Critical)?
- 1) Main drain covers will expire in September 2023 in all basins and all will need to be replaced. NOTE the drains in the hot tub are interconnected (as per plans) as well, both pumps draw from each outlet. Therefore, EACH drain cover must be able to handle the maximum flow of both pumps which is 575 gpm. Current covers have a max flow rate of 356 gpm. Main drains MUST have appropriate max flow rating. Before purchasing covers please notify the health inspector first. You will need certificates of compliance for main drain covers. Information about the sumps will be required to ensure covers are compatible. 2) Assess the basin for other submerged suction outlets ie. equalizer lines/submerged vacuum ports. Plans show equalizer lines in place under the skimmers in the basin. All submerged suction outlet covers must meet legislative requirements and meet or exceed max flow rating of pumps. Example: if there are 5 submerged suction outlets (2 main drains and three equalizer lines), and one gets blocked off - the remaining 4 unblocked outlets must be able to accommodate 100% of the max flow ie. 100%/4 (unblocked outlets) = 25%. So if max flow for both pumps is 575 gpm then each cover would need to be rated for at least 144 gpm (25% of 575 gpm). 3) Information about the pumps must be confirmed. Ie. photo of the max flow of recirculation pump - photo of the flow meter. For the jet pump - need the model number of the pump and the pump curve that corresponds to the pump. The photo and the pump curve are required for the anti-entrapment plan. 4) Sump information required - photo, diagram and dimensions, and diameter of pipe exiting the sump. 5) Need to confirm with cover manufacturer whether it can be used under the stair. New cover CANNOT be modified to fit the space. Specially made covers are an option - but engineered, stamped plans must be submitted. Hot tub to remain closed.
