Violation:
There was no inspection date for any of the air gaps indicated in the cross-connection control list.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections.

|
|
Recommendation:
Stripe or paint distillate and permeate lines directed to the potable water system in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/gray/blue). Ensure no other lines have the above color designations. Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers. Remove the blue striping from the technical water lines.

Recommendation:
Change the whirlpool spa water, including compensation tank, filter housing, and associated piping, every 72 hours, provided that the system is operated continuously and that the correct water chemistry levels are maintained during that period, including daily shock halogenation. Change spa pool water as often as necessary to maintain proper water chemistry. Change the water at least every 30 days. Record the date and time of whirlpool spa and spa pool water changes in the log.

Recreational Water Facilities-Electronic Data Logger
|
|
Violation:
An electronic data logger was installed on most RWFs during dry dock, but there was no documentation indicating the system had certified data security features.
|
|
Recommendation:
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.

Recreational Water Facilities-Children's and Crew Pools
|
|
Violation:
Electronic data loggers were purchased for these RWFs but were not installed. According to the staff, the electronic data loggers will be installed in the next few days after they complete the training and set-up the new equipment.
|
|
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. 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.
