|
|
Violation:
At the starboard side beverage station, the backflow device under the countertop juice machine was not accessible during the inspection. This device was located behind the countertop machine.

The engineer stated that they could not visually see this device and had to feel for it to find it. The inspector suggested they move the backflow prevention device to a position on the potable water line that would allow for visual inspection and device removal if needed. Remediation began immediately.
|

The engineer stated that they could not visually see this device, but rather had to feel for it to find it. It was suggested by the inspector to move the backflow prevention device to a position on the potable water line that would allow for visual inspection capabilities and device removal if needed. Remediation began immediately.

Violation:
The water piping between the RO and the point of halogenation were marked with only blue arrows indicating potable water instead of blue/grey/blue to indicate permeate 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.
