Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Evaporators
Violation: Piping directing water to the bilge for both evaporators was blue. Blue piping should be reserved for pipes carrying potable water.
Recommendation: Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. 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. Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water. Identify all refrigerant brine lines and nonpotable chilled water lines in all food areas, such as on ice machines, ice cream machines, etc., with either ISO 14726 (blue/white/blue) or by another uniquely identifiable method to prevent cross-connections.
Item No.: 08

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.
Item No.: 08

Item No.: 09
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Water Park
Violation: The water park was not open to bathers per staff, but the area was unattended and open for anyone to enter the area. The water toys were in operation and there were no ropes, netting, or any other indication that the area was not to be used. Manual readings at the water park documented mostly out of range pH values: 6.6, 6.5, 6.8, 6.7, 7.0. The analyzer in the machinery room read a pH of 7.3 while a manual test measured 7.0. The chart recorded a steady line around 7.3 for the entire time of this evaluation, not documenting the ups and downs found at the water park itself. Additionally, a manual reading at the water park documented a chlorine level of 4.0 ppm while the analyzer in the machinery room read 2.8 ppm, and a manual test measured 3.3 ppm. These discrepancies suggested that the system was not working correctly.
Recommendation: Maintain a free residual halogen in recirculated RWFs in the following ranges: (1) swimming pools, between 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (2) children's pools, between1.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (3) wading pools, between 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (4) interactive RWFs (activity pools), between 2.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (5) baby-only water facilities, between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) free chlorine or between 4.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) bromine; and (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. If facilities meet the definition of more than one type of RWF, apply the more protective halogen residual. If a facility is modified, apply the most protective halogen residual. Maintain the pH level in all RWFs between 7.0 and 7.8. Immediately close facilities if these halogen and pH ranges are not maintained.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Water Park
Violation: The water park was not open to bathers per staff, but the area was unattended and open for anyone to enter the area. The water toys were in operation and there were no ropes, netting, or any other indication that the area was not to be used. Manual readings at the water park documented mostly out of range pH values: 6.6, 6.5, 6.8, 6.7, 7.0. The analyzer in the machinery room read a pH of 7.3 while a manual test measured 7.0. The chart recorded a steady line around 7.3 for the entire time of this evaluation, not documenting the ups and downs found at the water park itself. Additionally, a manual reading at the water park documented a chlorine level of 4.0 ppm while the analyzer in the machinery room read 2.8 ppm, and a manual test measured 3.3 ppm. These discrepancies suggested that the system was not working correctly.
Recommendation: Maintain halogenation and pH control systems in good repair and operate them in accordance with the manufacturer?s recommendations. Maintain and operate the halogen and pH analyzer-chart recorder in accordance with the manufacturer?s instructions. Conduct a manual comparison test before opening the RWF to verify calibration for free halogen residual and pH. Ensure the analyzer reading is within 0.2 ppm for free halogen and 0.2 for pH 7.0 to 7.8. For RWFs open longer than 24 hours, conduct a manual comparison test every 24 hours.
