VSP Requirement

6.2.2.2.3 : Install chart recorders or electronic data loggers with security features that record pH and halogen measurements for each individual RWF. Ensure the sample line for the analyzer probe (monitoring) is either directly from the RWF or on the return line from each RWF and before the compensation tank. Install appropriate sample taps for analyzer calibration. In the event of equipment failure, measure free residual halogen and pH by a manual test kit at the RWF or return line at least hourly for whirlpool spas, spa pools, children?s pools, and wading pools and every 4 hours for all other RWFs. Record manual readings on a chart or log, retain for at least 12 months, and ensure that they are available for review during inspections. Complete repairs on malfunctioning halogen analyzer-chart recorders within 30 days of equipment failure. Provide an audible alarm in a continuously occupied watch station to indicate low and high free halogen and pH readings in each RWF.

 
Summary: Allow one electronic data logger on the return line for the two, one-person whirlpools in both the male and female spas.
