3701-31-04 (B)(1)(e) Critical Repeat Automatic Chemical Controller (ACC) was not functioning properly at the time of the inspection Do not operate the pool when the ACC unit is not functioning properly. Ensure that the ACC unit is functioning properly prior to placing the pool back into operation.

3701-31-04 (B)(4) Repeat The licensee/authorized representative was not keeping or maintaining operational records. Records had not been been kept for over 2 months. All facility records must be maintained and available for review upon request.

3701-31-04 (C)(2) Repeat pH was outside the range of 7.2 to 7.8. pH was measured to be approximately 5.0 at the time of inspection. Treat the pool water so that the pH is within the acceptable range.

3701-31-04 (C)(3) Repeat Total alkalinity was less than 60 ppm. Test was attempted but not measurable. Alkalinity was well below 60 ppm. Raise the total alkalinity to at least 60 ppm.

3701-31-04 (D)(7) Critical Repeat Automatic chemical controller for spa was not functional at the time of inspection.

3701-31-04 (D)(8)(c) Repeat Test kit reagents were not fresh. Pool operator was using expired reagents for water testing. Obtain fresh reagents.

Comments

A follow-up was conducted on 8/30/19 to address the critical violations. Free, combined, and total chlorine were not tested because pH and alkalinity were still not acceptable. The pool and spa were both still closed upon arrival. Had PIC add soda ash to the spa and had them adjust their chemical feeder set points. PIC calibrated both the auto chemical controllers. Pool and spa remained closed after the follow-up. Later in the afternoon, the facility's pool operator called to report readings from their new test kit. All readings were acceptable and facility was told it was ok to resume operating.
