Observed flow meter not working. (b) A flow meter measuring the rate of flow through the filter system with an appropriate range readable in gallons per minute (GPM) and accurate within ten percent actual flow shall be provided. The flow indicator shall be capable of measuring from one-half to at least one and one-half times the design flow rate. The gauge shall be located after the filtering equipment and in such location on the return line, so as to measure the total amount of water returning to the pool according to the manufacturer’s installation specifications. EHS informed the GM that the flow meter needed to be cleaned OR replaced and that it should read an accurate flow rate.

Observed skimmer weir missing. (d) Each skimmer shall have a weir that adjusts automatically to variations in water level over a minimum range of four inches. EHS informed the PIC of the need to install the skimmer weir.

Observed low alkalinity and calcium hardness levels. EHS informed the PIC of the need to inform the CPO to balance the water chemistry.

Observed emergency phone was not operationing(no dial tone) c) An operable, hard-wired, conventional telephone line or continuous powered source, weatherproof emergency phone shall be permanently installed in a conspicuous location within the pool enclosure and must be readily available to bathers at all times. The emergency phone shall be capable of connecting to 911 and electronically transferring an automatic number identification and automatic locator identification of the pool emergency phone to the public safety answering point, if available. A 911 sign or the names and phone numbers of the nearest available police, fire, ambulance service or rescue unit shall be posted nearby. EHS informed the GM of the need to have the phone fixed with the ability to dial to Macon-Bibb 911.

Observed 911 signage and facility contact information needing to be posted at the emergency phone.

EHS informed the GM of the need to purchase a new ring and rope.

Observed flow meter not working. (b) A flow meter measuring the rate of flow through the filter system with an appropriate range readable in gallons per minute (GPM) and accurate within ten percent actual flow shall be provided. The flow indicator shall be capable of measuring from one-half to at least one and one-half times the design flow rate. The gauge shall be located after the filtering equipment and in such location on the return line, so as to measure the total amount of water returning to the pool according to the manufacturer’s installation specifications. EHS informed the GM that the flow meter needed to be replaced and that it should read an accurate flow rate.

Observed the guage on the filter not operating effectively. a) A pressure or vacuum gauge or other means of indicating system condition shall be provided in the circulation system in an easily readable location.EHS informed the GM of the need to have the filter and gauge serviced.

Observed only one main drain and the need to need to install a Vac-Alert system(vacuum gauge). (a) The pump vacuum gauge shall be installed as close to the suction side of the pump as possible while still maintaining an accurate reading. EHS informed the GM of the need to install this equipment.

Observed no CPO certification on-site. (2) The trained operator shall have a current certificate showing completion of an approved operator training course.

EHS informed the GM of the need to install the NO DIVING symbols.

Observed low calcium hardness level; chlorine tablets in the skimmer basket. EHS informed the GM that that water chemistry needed to be balanced and that the chlorine tablets must be fed through the chlorinator.

Observed facility's need to install a drinking fountain on the water line that sources the shower. EHS informed the GM of the need to install a drinking fountain.

Observed plumbing needing to be marked with the direction of water flow and what each line sources. (6) All piping shall be marked with directional arrows as necessary to determine flow direction.
