13-189(c)(1): the pool shall be maintained in an alkaline condition with a pH level between 7.2 - 7.8 Observed that initial pH readings were 7.0 and 6.9. Corrected on-site by CPO, who brought pH level up to 7.3.

13-189(c)(1): an approved method for chemical level testing shall be provided to the CPO for testing pool chemical levels. Observed that CPO still does not have a complete, up-to-date test kit with unexpired testing chemicals.

13-189(c)(1): the free chlorine residual in all parts of the pool shall be maintained at a concentration between 1.5ppm and 10ppm. Observed chlorine reading of 11.78ppm.

13-189(c)(1): the pool shall be maintained in an alkaline condition with a pH level between 7.2 - 7.8. Observed pH level of 8.4.

13-197(a): the water in each pool shall be continuously chemically treated with an approved disinfecting agent with associated equipment. Observed salt system turned off and not running. CPO explained it was only temporarily turned off in order to lower chlorine level, but system should be running during inspection and subsequently.

13-189(c)(1): an approved method for chemical level testing shall be provided to the CPO for testing pool chemical levels. Observed that chemicals in CPO's testing kit used to test chlorine were expired.

13-202(a)(2): entry to the pool area shall be through self-closing and self-latching gates. Observed that the door to the indoor pool did not self-close completely. Corrected on-site by CPO who adjusted self-closing mechanism.

13-189(c)(1): the free chlorine residual in all parts of the pool shall be maintained at a concentration of no less than 1.5ppm. Observed initial chlorine reading of 0.54ppm. Corrected on-site by CPO who brought chlorine levels up to 3.34ppm.

13-189(c)(1): the pool shall be maintained in an alkaline condition with a pH level between 7.2 - 7.8. Observed pH level at 8.6. Despite several attempts by CPO, this could not be lowered during this inspection.

13-205(b)(1): equipment shall be operated continuously on a twenty-four hour basis to obtain one turnover ever six (6) hours.
Observed flow meter reading 65gpm; should be at least 78gpm.

13-201(j): an appropriate, covered and lined trash receptacle shall be provided in each bathroom. Observed the uni-sex bathroom did not have a covered trach receptacle for sanitary napkins. Corrected on-site by CPO, who placed appropriate trash receptacle in bathroom.

13-189(c)(1): an approved method for chemical level testing shall be provided to the CPO for testing pool chemical levels Observed that CPO's test kit did not have the pH testing chemicals.

13-189(a)(5): all pools shall be kept free from sediment dirt, and debris Observed that leaves were in the indoor pool. (CPO pointed out slight gap in ceiling which runs around roof of pool.) Corrected on-site by CPO who removed leaves.

13-190(a) The equipment shall be operated continuously on a twenty-four (24)hour basis to obtain the minimum required number of one turnover every six (6) hours (pools) *Observed flow meter was 70 should be 78.

13-189(c)(1): Bromine levels must be maintained between 3ppm-8ppm. OBSERVATION: initially it was 29.6. After adjustment, it went to8.0.

13-189(c)(6)-At all times, water shall be of such clarity that the main drains on bottom of pool at deepest point is clearly visible. Viewer shall be able to distinguish the type, shape, and number of openings of main drain grates or covers. OBSERVATION: pool was cloudy.

13-189(c)(1) The pool shall be maintained in an alkaline condition at all times with a PH level between 7.2-7.8.

13-202(d)Shepherd's hook detached from pole.

13-189(c)(1):pH shall be between 7.2-7.8. It was tested and observed twice at 7.9 and 8.0. It was COS to 7.8.

13-190(a): equipment shall be operated continuously on a 24 hour minimum required number of 6 hours. Observed the flow rate at around 83 it was recorded at 60 GPM.

13-189(a)(5): all pools shall be kept free from sediment, dirt, or debris by brushing and vacuuming at the bottom of the pool. There is sand at the bottom of the pool. Maintenance informed me of a broken lateral part in the sand filter that will fixed.

13-189(c)(6): At all times, water shall be of such clarity that the main drains on bottom of pool at deepest point is clearly visible. Viewer shall be able to distinguish the type, shape, and number of openings of main drain grates or covers. OBSERVATION: pool is cloudy. I can barely see the main drains.

13-189(c)(1): Bromine levels must be maintained between 3ppm-8ppm. OBSERVATION: initially it was 1.4. After adjustment, it went to 14.3.

13-190(a): equipment shall be operated continuously on a 24 hour minimum required number of 6 hours. Observation: Flow meter is not showing a reading. CPO will replace it. Flow meter must be 1.5x of turnover rate (77 gpm). Max value should be atleast 116.67.

13-202(m): Rules must contain at a minimum the 12 statements in the pool code. Observation: "No food or drinks allowed" sign is missing.

13-188(a)(5): Pool surface shall be kept free of sediment dirt or debris. Observation: There is staining mainly around inlets.
