Inspection summary
Super 8 by Wyndham Medicine Hat - Main Pool has been inspected 27 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 10, 2023. The most recent inspection, on October 8, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.
5 of 27 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 15 inspections with 20 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Food temperature control and Chemicals and toxic substances.
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 26 times across 18 separate inspections, most recently on October 8, 2026. For example:
Is the bacteriological 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 12 times across 12 separate inspections, most recently on March 12, 2026. For example:
Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 5, 2025. For example:
Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?

- The tested pH was 7.81, which exceeds the required range of 6.8–7.6. The operator’s manual test conducted earlier the same day showed a pH of 7.2. The operator indicated that it is likely that excess bicarbonate was added to the pool. This explanation is consistent with the observation of slightly elevated total alkalinity (TA). The operator stated that the amount will be reduced accordingly in future. Please ensure the pH is consistently maintained within the required range.

- One of the drain covers appeared to be not securely installed. It could not be confirmed whether the drain covers are compliant with ANSI/APSP-16 (2011). Entrapment hazards were explained to the operator.The operator indicated that the drain covers were replaced last year and stated that he would attempt to locate the receipt or contact the service provider to confirm. He further indicated that he would investigate the drain cover to ensure it is properly secured. The operator agreed to close the pool in the meantime until the investigation is complete.
