Inspection summary

Super 8 Motel - Outdoor Pool has been inspected 8 times by Grey Bruce Health Unit (Grey Bruce Public Health) since May 23, 2024. The most recent inspection, on July 3, 2026, found no infractions.

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

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 15 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on July 2, 2026. For example: Where cyanurate stabilization is maintained in outdoor pools, free available chlorine (FAC) reads a minimum of 1.0 ppm and not more than 10 ppm, in association with a cyanuric acid concentration of not greater than 60 ppm.

  • 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 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2026. For example: There is continuous operation of the circulation system and the chemical feeders throughout the entire 24 hours of each day without regard to the daily use period.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on July 29, 2025. For example: Water is maintained free from any visible matter and contamination that may be hazardous or injurious to the health of the bathers.

  • 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 29, 2025. For example: Operator kept and signed daily records. Records are retained for a period of 1 year.
