Potable Water-Dialysis Machine
|
|
Violation:
An atmospheric vacuum breaker backflow device was installed on the potable water supply where the dialysis machine connects in the medical center. Due to the higher health hazards associated with dialysis, a reduced pressure assembly or a pressure vacuum breaker device is required. No dialysis machines were connected or present during the inspection.
|
|
Recommendation:
Install either a pressure vacuum breaker device or a reduced pressure assembly before the hemodialysis machine or before other related processes such as water treatment in order to protect the potable water system from contamination.

Turnover rates for each of the recreational water facilities were not available.
|
|
Recommendation:
For RWFs with skim gutters, ensure that the fill level of the RWF is to the level of the skim gutters. Design recirculation systems and equipment, including chemical control equipment, UV disinfection systems, filter, and pumps to maintain adequate water chemistry control while operating at the following minimum turnover rates: (1) swimming pool (VSP 2005 Construction Guidelines or earlier): 6 hours; (2) swimming pool (VSP 2011 Construction Guidelines or later): 4 hours; (3) children's pool: 0.5 hours; (4) wading pool: 1 hour; (5) whirlpool spa: 0.5 hours; (6) spa pool: 2 hours; (7) interactive RWF or activity pool less than 610 millimeters (24 inches) deep: 1 hour; (8) interactive RWF or activity pool greater than 610 millimeters (24 inches) deep: 2 hours; and (9) baby-only water facility: 0.5 hours. Ensure an RWF slide that is combined with a pool has a turnover rate that matches the rate for the pool.

|
|
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 shock halogenation (concentration in ppm at the start and completion and time) is available for review during inspections.

Recreational Water Facilities-Safety Signage
|
|
Violation:
The safety signage at all the recreational water facilities did not meet the current requirements of the 2011 VSP Operations Manual. New signs have been ordered.

Recommendation:
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." 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.

Violation:
The drain covers for the Main and Solarium swimming pools do not conform with ASME A112.19.8 standards. The drains were gravity, multiple, and greater than 3 feet apart with no alarm.
|
|
Recommendation:
For RWFs with gravity drainage and multiple drains (2 or more drains greater than 3 feet apart), provide either a standard design (not compliant with ASME A112.19.8) drain cover and an alarm, or an ASME A112.19.8 compliant antientrapment/antientanglement drain cover. Ensure the alarm is audible and sounds in both a continuously manned space and at the RWF. Ensure this alarm is for all draining: accidental, routine, and emergency.
