Site:
Recreational Water Facilities-Forward, Mid, and Aft Pools
|
|
Violation:
For all three (3) pools, the water level was not at the skim gutter level; therefore the water was not draining sufficiently. At all three (3) pools, the bulkhead surrounding the pool is bent in specific areas to allow for draining; however, this is insufficient. Proper drain slats need to be installed to allow the water to drain consistently from all areas of the pool. Staff and the inspector discussed a plan for the upcoming dry-dock in March.

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. This applies to wading or swimming pools but not to children's pools. The water for the slide must come directly from the basin of the pool and return directly to the basin of the pool. Flow rates from flow meters must be used to calculate turnover rates. Apply the most protective turnover rate for facilities that meet the definition of more than one type of RWF.
