EHS informed the CPO of the need to balance the water chemistry; he shocked the pool prior to EHS arrival as he observed the levels were extremely low.

Observed PH levels at 8.5. (2) Chemical Values: pH 7.2 7.4-7.6 7.8 Alkalinity (buffering), 60 ppm 80-100 halogens compounds with high pH 180 ppm as CaC03 100-120 halogen compounds with low pH Calcium hardness, ppm, CaCo3 150 200-400 to balance water 1000. EHS informed the CPO of the need to balance the water chemistry; he added muriatic acid on-site.

EHS was unable to test the combined chlorine levels as the free chlorine levels were too high. (1) Disinfectant Levels (a) Free chlorine, ppm in pools not using cyanuric acid or a stabilized chlorine compound use (b),1.-5. EHS informed the CPO of the need to balance the water chemistry.

Observed flow meter not working; guage was stuck. (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 CPO of the need to fix the flow meter.

Observed bather load (4 inch lettering) and pool hours not posted at the entrance gates.(c) A sign shall be posted stating the hours of operation in clear view near the entrance and shall state the theoretical peak occupancy. EHS informed the Maintenance guy of the need to post the information at the entrance gate.

Observed NO DIVING symbol present, however it was covering the NO DIVING wording. (a) The words "No Diving" and the universal international symbol for “NO DIVING” shall be permanently visible at the edge of the deck for water five feet in depth or less, placed only on the deck beside the depth markers, and shall conform to that outlined for depth markers in subsections (3)(a) thru (h) above. EHS informed the CPO and maintenance of the need to shift the symbols to the right of the words NO DIVING.

Observed the pump strainer basket in need of cleaning. (2) Strainer or Screen. With all pressure filter systems, a cleanable strainer or screen shall be provided upstream of the circulation pumps to remove solids and debris such as hair and lint. EHS will notify the CPO of the need to clean the strainer basket.

Observed piping needing to be labeled with the feature that it services. (6) All piping shall be marked with directional arrows as necessary to determine flow direction. All piping in the equipment room shall be permanently identified by its use and the pool and or aquatic feature it serves. EHS informed the CPO of the need to label the piping that services the main drain and skimmers.

Observed skimmer baskets with excessive debri inside. EHS informed PIC of the need to clean the skimmer baskets.
