[?] A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.

3701-31-04 (B)(4)(a)(i) / Disinfection residuals are tested daily at pool side at required intervals for pools/automatic chemical controllers/special features
Disinfection residuals were not tested daily at pool side and/or at the required intervals for pools/automatic chemical controllers/special features. -The free chlorine levels were not recorded on 8/1/23 or 8/2/23. -Test the chlorine prior to bathers entering the water and every 12 hours the pool is in use.

3701-31-04 (B)(4)(a)(ii) / Combined chlorine is tested daily at pool side prior to use
Combined chlorine was not tested daily at pool side prior to use. -Observed the combined clorine levels were not recorded on 8/1/23 or 8/2/23. -Test for combined chlorine prior to bathers entering the water and every 12 hours the pool is in use.

3701-31-04 (B)(4)(a)(iii) / pH is tested daily at pool side at required intervals for pools/automatic chemical controllers/special features
pH was not tested daily at pool side and/or at required intervals for pools/automatic chemical controllers/special features. -pH was not recorded on 8/1/23 or 8/2/23. -pH must be tested prior to bathers entering the water and every 12 hours the pool is in use.

3701-31-04 (B)(4)(a)(iv) / Water temperatures are recorded daily
Water temperatures were not being recorded daily. -Obseved the water temperatures were not recorded on 8/1/23 or 8/2/23. -Take and record the water temperature at least once/day.

3701-31-04 (D)(05) / Cyanuric acid level shall not exceed 70 ppm.
Repeat Cyanuric acid level exceeded 70 ppm. -Observed the cyanuric acid exceeded 100ppm. -Cyanuric acid above 70ppm limits the effectiveness of chlorine. DRAIN THE POOL AT LEAST HALFWAY AND FILL WITH CLEAN WATER. MONITOR THE AMOUNT OF CYANURIC ACID BEING USED AND AJUST ACCORDINGLY.
.
3701-31-04 (D)(8)(c) / Test kit reagents fresh/ properly stored.
Test kit reagents were not fresh or stored properly. -Observed the DPD #2 reagent in the test kit was expired. OBTAIN FRESH REAGENTS.
Obtain fresh reagents and store them properly.

Facility Type: Pool

[?] Inspection Type: Standard

Inspection Date: 09-August-2023

Comments
-Alarms on the ACC were going off at the time of inspection.

-The cyanuric acid was higher than 100 ppm. Note that this is a repeat violation, and it was not corrected since the inspection in July. The disinfectant used is sodium hypochlorite, but there is a Pentair Rainbox 300-29x that is attached to the system, and it appeared to be on, and there was an open bucket of tri-chlor tablets next to the feeder. Given that the cyanuric acid level is so high in the pool, it seems that the tri-chlor feeder is indeed being used.

-The readings for cyanuric acid in the facility's logs do not match what was recorded at the time of inspection. Ensure that whoever is taking the measurements is properly testing for water quality parameters. If the cyanuric acid is over 70ppm, the chlorine is not as effective, and the pool will need at least a partial drain to remove the cyanuric acid.

When using CYA (cyanuric acid) the alkalinity level is calculated by subtracting 1/3 the CYA level from the alkalinity reading. EXAMPLE: alkalinity test reading = 70 ppm, CYA = 60 ppm. Alkalinity is 70 ppm – (60/3) = 50 ppm. This should be reflected in the logs when documenting total alkalinity.
