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

3701-31-04 (A) / Approval shall be obtained for any construction or alterations of a public swimming pool.
Repeat Public swimming pool was constructed, installed, or substantially altered without obtaining approval from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).
Contact ODH to obtain approval for any construction/alterations before operating pool. APPROVAL FOR THE PLANS FOR THE FENCE AROUND THE WADING POOL HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
3701-31-04 (B)(6)(f) / Required turnover rates are sufficient
Repeat Required turnover rates were not met.
Have the circulation system evaluated to determine why the turnover rates are not able to be met. Once the reasons have been determined have the issue repaired. If necessary, submit plans to the Ohio Department of Health to review and approve. INCREASE FLOW RATE TO AT LEAST 56 GPM
3701-31-04 (B)(6)(s) / Perimeter barrier is in good repair to prevent unauthorized entry
Gates or doors were not self-closing and lockable.
Repair gates or doors in order to be self-closing and lockable. GATES MUST BE SELF-CLOSING.
3701-31-04 (C)(2) / pH is within 7.2 to 7.8
Repeat pH was outside the range of 7.2 to 7.8.
Treat the pool water so that the pH is within the acceptable range. ADJUST THE pH Correct By: 05-Aug-2021
3701-31-04 (C)(3) / Total alkalinity is at or greater than 60 ppm
Repeat Total alkalinity was less than 60 ppm.
Raise the total alkalinity to at least 60 ppm. INCREASE ALKALINITY. Correct By: 05-Aug-2021

Comments
Low Alkalinity (under 60) will cause the pH to swing up and down rather wildly and will absolutely damage the pool or equipment over time. The water becomes “hungry” and attempts to balance itself.
Some of the damage that can occur as a result of Low Alkalinity:
Concrete can stain and become etched.
Grout & stone surfaces can etch and deteriorate over time. Surfaces which are originally smooth begin to develop grooves, cracks, and become rough to the touch.
Plastered surfaces can delaminate.
Metals can corrode. Everything from pool screws, and other hardware can corrode when exposed to low alkalinity water. Not only hardware and accessories but pump motors, valves, and heat exchangers can also corrode. This corrosion not only can ruin your equipment but can lead to metals being present in your water.
