Site:
Recreational Water Facilities-Pools #1, #2, and Haven
|
|
Violation:
The water fill level for all three recreational water facilities was insufficient and did not skim effectively (approximately 80%). This violation was noted in the 8 December 2019 construction inspection and had not been rectified. Multiple correspondence between the ship and the shipyard was documented.
|
|
Recommendation:
For RWFs with skim gutters, ensure that the fill level of the RWF is to the level of the skim gutters. Install surface skimmers or gutters capable of handling 100% of the filter flow of the recirculation system. If skimmers are used instead of gutters, install at least one skimmer for every 37 square meters (400 square feet) of pool surface area.

Recreational Water Facilities-Octagon Spas
|
|
Violation:
The manufactured antientrapment drain covers did not allow for complete water drainage. Additionally, the field fabricated drain covers did not have proper certification detailing that they were antientrapment.
|
|
Recommendation:
Install drains in the recreational water facility system to allow for complete drainage of the entire volume of water from the pump, filter system, compensation or make-up tank, and all associated piping. Ensure the testing of manufactured drain covers is by a nationally or internationally recognized testing laboratory. Ensure the following information is stamped on each manufactured antientrapment drain cover: (1) certification standard and year; (2) type of drain use (single or multiple); (3) maximum flow rate (in gallons or liters per minute); (4) type of fitting (suction outlet); (5) life expectancy of cover; (6) mounting orientation (wall, floor, or both); (7) manufacturer's name or trademark; and (8) model designation. Ensure the design of custom/shipyard constructed (field fabricated) drain covers and suction fittings is fully specified by a registered design professional in accordance with ASME A112.19.8-2007. Ensure the specifications fully address cover/grate loadings, durability, hair, finger and limb entrapment issues, cover/grate secondary layer of protection, related sump design, and features specific to the RWF. Provide a letter from the shipyard for each custom/shipyard constructed (field fabricated) drain cover fitting. At a minimum, ensure the letter specifies the shipyard, name of the vessel, specifications and dimensions of the drain cover, as well as the exact location of the RWF for which it was designed. Ensure the name of and contact information for the registered design professional and signature are on the letter. Ensure antientrapment protection equipment (covers, suction fittings, safety vacuum release system, etc.) complies with ASME A112.19.8-2007-or any successor standards-whether the equipment is manufactured or field fabricated.
