Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-General Comment - Recreational Water Facilities (RWF)
Violation: Work has begun on compliance with new 2011 VSP Operations Manual compliance. Areas still in process of being addressed: installation of chart recorders on each RWF recirculation system; moving halogen analyzer sampling point from the return line to the RWF to the RWF or to the return line from the RWF to the equalizer tank; calculation of bather loads using one person / 19 liters/minute flow instead of calculated flow rate and square meters of RWF; installation of flow meters on each recirculation system; installation of a pressure gauge after the filter on each recirculation system; acquiring new testing systems for water quality testing; verification of antientrapment drain systems covers meet ASME 112.19.8; and installation of new compliant signs for pools and whirlpool spas.[New requirements 2011 VSP Operations Manual].
Recommendation: Maintain documentation on the maximum bather load for each RWF. Ensure the maximum bather load is based on the following factor: one person per five gallons (19 liters) per minute of recirculation flow. Monitor and adjust the RWF's flow rates, free and combined halogen levels, pH, total alkalinity, and clarity as recommended by the manufacturer and to maintain optimum public health protection and water chemistry. Ensure a fecal and vomit accident response procedure that meets or exceeds the procedure provided in Annex 13.8 is available for review during inspections. Install automated systems for halogen-based disinfection and pH control dosing. Control the amounts injected by flow meters or free halogen and pH analyzers. Ensure a test kit is available for testing water quality parameters, including free and total halogen levels (chlorine and bromine, where applicable), pH, and total alkalinity. Ensure that test kits are accurate to within 0.2 mg/L (ppm) for halogen and have a testing range of free residual halogen normally maintained in the RWF. Ensure test kits for pH are accurate to within 0.2. Ensure all reagents are not past their expiration dates. Where available, ensure appropriate secondary standards are onboard for electronic test kits to verify test kit operation. Install chart recorders or electronic data loggers with security features that record pH and halogen measurements for each individual RWF. Ensure the sample line for the analyzer probe (monitoring) is either directly from the RWF or on the return line from each RWF and before the compensation tank. Install appropriate sample taps for analyzer calibration. In the event of equipment failure, measure free residual halogen and pH by a manual test kit at the RWF or return line at least hourly for whirlpool spas, spa pools, children's pools, and wading pools and every 4 hours for all other RWFs. Record manual readings on a chart or log, retain for at least 12 months, and ensure that they are available for review during inspections. Complete repairs on malfunctioning halogen analyzer-chart recorders within 30 days of equipment failure. Provide an audible alarm in a continuously occupied watch station to indicate low and high free halogen and pH readings in each RWF. For whirlpool spas and spa pools, ensure the analyzer probes for dosing and recording systems are capable of measuring and recording levels up to 10 mg/L (10 ppm). Maintain and operate the halogen and pH analyzer-chart recorder in accordance with the manufacturer?s instructions. Conduct a manual comparison test before opening the RWF to verify calibration for free halogen residual and pH. Ensure the analyzer reading is within 0.2 ppm for free halogen and 0.2 for pH. For RWFs open longer than 24 hours, conduct a manual comparison test every 24 hours. If an electronic data logger is used in lieu of a chart recorder, ensure it has certified data security features. Conduct manual comparison tests for free halogen residual and pH before opening the RWF to verify calibration. Ensure the analyzer reading is within 0.2 ppm for free halogen and 0.2 for pH. For RWFs open longer than 24 hours, conduct a manual comparison test every 24 hours. Initial, date, and change halogen analyzer-chart recorder charts daily. Initial and date strip recorder charts daily and indicate 24-hour increments. Ensure logs and charts contain notations outlining actions taken when the free halogen residual or pH levels are outside of the acceptable ranges in this manual. Additionally, ensure the records include any major maintenance work on the filtration and halogenation systems and UV disinfection systems. Ensure a written or electronic log of RWF filter inspection results, granular filter sedimentation test results, backwashing frequency and length of backwashing, and date and time of water dumping is available for review during inspections. Provide safety signs for all RWFs, except for baby-only water facilities. Ensure the signs, at a minimum, include the following words: (1) do not use these facilities if you are experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, or fever; (2) no children in diapers or who are not toilet trained; (3) shower before entering the facility; and (4) bather load #. For children?s RWF signs, include the exact wording ?TAKE CHILDREN ON FREQUENT BATHROOM BREAKS? or ?TAKE CHILDREN ON FREQUENT TOILET BREAKS.? Prominently display the depth of each RWF that is deeper than 1 meter (3 feet) so that it can be seen from the deck and in the pool. Label depth markers in both feet and meters. Additionally, install depth markers for every 1 meter (3 feet) change in depth. In addition to the safety sign requirements in section 6.7.1.1.1, install a sign at each whirlpool spa and spa pool entrance listing precautions and risks associated with the use of these facilities. Include, at a minimum, cautions against use by the following: (1) individuals who are immunocompromised; (2) individuals on medication or who have underlying medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or high or low blood pressure; and (3) pregnant women, elderly persons, and children. Additionally, caution against exceeding 15 minutes of exposure. Provide a rescue or shepherd?s hook and an approved flotation device at a prominent location (visible from the full perimeter of the pool) at each RWF that has a depth of 1 meter (3 feet) or greater. Mount these devices in a manner that allows for easy access during an emergency. Ensure the pole of the rescue or shepherd?s hook is long enough to reach the center of the deepest portion of the pool from the side plus 2 feet. Ensure it is a light, strong, nontelescoping material with rounded, nonsharp ends. Ensure the approved flotation device includes an attached rope that is at least 2/3 of the maximum pool width.

Recommendation: Ensure toys used in the child activity center are cleaned and disinfected daily and balls used in ball pits/pens are cleaned when contaminated or at least once per week. If a chemical disinfectant is used, ensure toys are air dried before use.
Item No.: 42
Site: Children Area-Adventure Ocean
Violation: Staff stated that the TRIO building block toys were cleaned by spray soaking with the Oxivir TB cleaner disinfectant chemical. The label on the spray bottle required gloves, safety glasses and respiratory protection. It also warned against being near children. Some review should be made of this policy and the chemical used, as these small toys have many open voids and could retain liquid if not dried carefully.
Recommendation: Ensure surfaces that children touch with their hands are cleaned and disinfected at least daily with products labeled by the manufacturer for that purpose.
