Violation:
The inspector and crew member conducted six combined chlorine residual tests at the far point. The inspector's test results were 1.67 ppm, 1.60 ppm, and 1.75 ppm, and the crew member's test results were 1.70 ppm, 1.73 ppm, 1.70 ppm. The far point analyzer was consistently reading 2.21 ppm during all six tests. The far point analyzer was immediately recalibrated to 1.70 ppm.
|

Violation:
Water was continuously dripping from the relief vent of the reduced pressure backflow assembly installed on the cold-water supply line to the pulper economizer tank. Also, the potable water lines before the reduced pressure backflow assemblies on both the hot-water and cold-water supply lines to the pulper economizer tank were not striped blue or blue/green/blue to indicate potable water.
|
|
Recommendation:
Maintain backflow prevention devices in good repair. Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. 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. Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water.

|
|
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. Ensure all screws are installed on the antientrampment drain covers.

|
|
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.

Recreational Water Facilities-Sand Filter Core Sample Test
|
|
Violation:
No sand filter core sample tests were documented for either the forward or aft swimming pool. The last documented sand filter core sample test for the whirlpool spa was 16 June 2019.
|
|
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. Inspections and sedimentation tests must be conducted quarterly for all RWFs. 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:
Clean, rinse, and disinfect the filter housing before the new filter media is placed in it. Ensure disinfection is accomplished with an appropriate halogen-based disinfectant. At a minimum, use a 50-ppm solution for 1 minute, or equivalent CT value. Maintain records on all inspection and cleaning procedures. Ensure the filter housing must be cleaned, rinsed, and disinfected each time the filter media?including cartridge filter?is changed.

Recommendation:
Ensure air handling unit condensate drain pans and collection systems are able to be accessed for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning. Install sight windows or use other effective methods to allow for full inspection of condensate collection pans when original equipment access makes evaluation during operational inspections impractical.
