At time of inspection, the cyanuric acid (CYA) level registered at 141 ppm (CYA must be 90 ppm or less). CPO will drain some water and add some fresh water, to ensure that CYA is below 90 ppm.

At time of inspection, the pressure gauge on the sand filter is not functioning. Replace the pressure gauge.

At time of inspection, the turnover rate is lower than necessary. The flow meter was observed at 80 GPM (design flow rate is 208 GPM for this pool). CPO has one pump off at the time of inspection, waiting for order of cartridges for second filter to arrive. Once they arrive, the second pump will be back on, increasing turnover.

At time of inspection, observed flow rate at 180 GPM (flow rate for this pool must be at least 208 GPM to achieve 6-hour turnover rate). CPO states he will backwash the filter.

At time of inspection, the emergency phone has no dial tone and is not operational. HOA president states he will have a new phone ordered and installed ASAP. He states that the phone line is paid for every month and should be operational, so the issue must be with the phone itself.

At time of inspection, the pH was observed at 8.3 (pH must be between 7.2 and 7.8). CPO stated he will adjust water balance.

At time of inspection, observed lack of lifesaving equipment present at the pool (missing: ring buoys with attached throwing ropes and poles with attached body hooks - there is one pole and hook present, but the pole appears to be held together with electrical tape and will need to be replaced. PIC stated two (2) new poles/hooks and three (3) ring buoys with ropes have been ordered, and will be placed at pool as soon as they arrive.

At time of inspection, one of the two flow meters was not functioning.

At time of inspection, observed the absence of a rope and float line marking the transition from the shallow area to the deep area. The rope and float line is needed, as the deepest portion of the pool is eight feet deep - pools with depths exceeding five feet must have a float line. The anchors used to secure the float line in place must be recessed into the pool wall, in order to prevent injury to swimmers.

At time of inspection, handrail (nearest gate) was loose and not secure. A time of inspection, both ladders in deep end of pool were loose and not secure; the bottom step of the ladder on the far side of the pool was broken and hanging loose.

At time of inspection, observed absence of several signs. The following signs are needed: Pool Risks, "No Lifeguard on Duty...", & peak occupancy and hours of operation.
