|
|
Recommendation:
Increase the free residual halogen to at least 10.0 mg/L (ppm) and circulate for at least 1 hour every 24 hours. Test the free residual halogen both at the start and completion of shock halogenation. Superhalogenate the water in the entire RWF system to 10 ppm to include the whirlpool spa/spa pool tub, compensation tank, filter housing, and all associated piping before starting the 1-hour timing. Ensure a written or electronic record of the date and time of water dumping and shock halogenation (concentration in ppm at the start and completion and time) is available for review during inspections.

[New requirement 2011 VSP Operations Manual]
|
|
Recommendation:
For RWFs with suction fittings and a single blockable drain or multiple drains (less than 3 feet apart), provide an ASME A112.19.8 compliant antientrapment/antientanglement drain cover and a safety vacuum release system or automatic pump shut-off system.

Recommendation:
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.

Recreational Water Facilities-Halogen and pH Analyzer Probe Locations
|
|
Violation:
The sample line locations for free halogen residual and pH probes for all the whirlpools and the hydrotherapy pool were located after the compensation tank. [New requirement 2011 VSP Operations Manual]
|
|
Recommendation:
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.

Recommendation:
If an animal food such as beef, eggs, fish, lamb, milk, pork, poultry, or shellfish that is raw, undercooked, or not otherwise processed to eliminate pathogens is offered in a ready-to-eat form or as a raw ingredient in another ready-to-eat food, ensure the consumer is informed by way of disclosure using menu advisories, placards, or other easily visible written means of the significantly increased risk to certain especially vulnerable consumers eating such foods in raw or undercooked form. Locate the advisory at the outlets where these types of food are served. Ensure that raw shell egg preparations are not used in uncooked products as described in section 7.3.3.2.3. Ensure that disclosure is made by one of the two following methods: (1) On a sign describing the animal-derived foods (e.g., ?oysters on the half-shell,? ?hamburgers,? ?steaks,? or ?eggs?); AND that they can be cooked to order and may be served raw or undercooked; AND a statement indicating that consuming raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, eggs, milk, poultry may increase your risk for foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions. Ensure the advisory is posted at the specific station where the food is served raw, undercooked, or cooked to order OR (2) On a menu using an asterisk at the animal-derived foods requiring disclosure and a footnote with a statement indicating that consuming raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, eggs, milk, or poultry may increase your risk for foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
