Observed flow rate of 150. Rule: Flow rate for this pool is calculated to be 200GPM or higher. Corrective Action: Increase flow rate to at least 200 GPM. Note: Multiply flow meter reading by 10.

Observed a flow rate of 75gpm. Rule: Equipment for pool shall be adequate to turnover pool capacity not exceeding once every six hours.
Flow rate should be at least 200gpm. Corrective Action: Increase flowrate to meet 200gpm or greater.

Observed flow meter reading too low, at 140gpm. 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. The minimum design flow rate is 200 gpm. PIC stated violation will be corrected.

Observed free chlorine level of 0.8. Rule Free chlorine shall be maintained at 1.0ppm in pools without stabilizer. The maximum is 10ppm. Corrective Action: Facility must correct prior to re-opening.

Observed pH above 8.0. Rule: pH shall be maintained at or between 7.2 and 7.8. Corrective Action: Facility must correct prior to re-opening.

Observed black float resting at bottom of flow meter. Rule (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. Corrective Action PIC stated that it was recently changed. Called maintenance to repair or replace.
