Recreational Water Facilities-Port Whirlpool Spa
|
|
Violation:
The bromine level was measured three times at greater than 10 ppm with the vessel's and inspector's test kits. The analyzer for the whirlpool in the machinery room indicated a level of between 5 and 6 ppm bromine. Samples taken at the analyzer were also greater than 10 ppm bromine. The whirlpool was open at the time of the inspection.
|
|
Recommendation:
Maintain a free residual halogen in recirculated RWFs in the following ranges: (6) whirlpool spas and spa pools, between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) free chlorine or between 4.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) bromine.

Site:
Recreational Water Facilities-Swimming Pool
|
|
Violation:
The swimming pool had a decorative fountain with spraying jets that overflowed onto the beach level of the pool. The water for the fountain came directly from the pool. This RWF was considered an activity pool, but the turnover rate was 2.5 hours instead of 2 hours.
|
|
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.

Recreational Water Facilities-Pool/Filter Cleaning Records
|
|
Violation:
There were no records stating the results of the monthly core samples for the sand filters for all recreational water facilities.
|
|
Recommendation:
Examine granular filter media for channels, mounds, or holes. Inspect a core sample of the filter media for excessive organic material accumulation using a recommended sedimentation method. For whirlpool spas and spa pools, ensure inspections and sedimentation tests are done monthly. For all other RWFs, ensure inspections and sedimentation tests are conducted quarterly. Change granular filter media for whirlpool spas and spa pools based on the inspection and sedimentation test results or every 12 months, whichever is more frequent. For all other RWFs, change granular filter media based on the inspection and sedimentation results or per the manufacturer's recommendations, whichever is more frequent. Record the results of both the filter inspection and sedimentation test.

|
|
Recommendation:
Containers of potentially hazardous food under time control and placed on preparation counters must be labeled with the discard time, even if the outlet is open for less than 4 hours. (Clarifications to the VSP 2011 Operations Manual section 7.3.5.3.6)

Violation:
The in-use #1 and #2 conveyor dishwashing machines displayed problems within the final rinse compartment and the final rinse spray. There was a weak spray pattern in all the upper spray arm nozzles in dishwasher #1. In the #2 conveyor dishwasher the far left upper spray arm final rinse nozzle was mostly clogged, so there was only the smallest stream of water which could be seen spraying to the left or right side of the nozzle. Staff repaired both machines during the inspection.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure a warewashing machine and its auxiliary components are operated in accordance with the machine's data plate and other manufacturer's instructions.
