Item No.: 09
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Forward Pool
Violation: The forward pool was open and in use with both children and adults at the time of the manual testing for water chemistry. The ship's test kit registered free chlorine concentrations of 1.52, 1.28, and 1.28 ppm in three different parts of the pool. The inspector's kit registered 0.76, 1.05, and 0.66 ppm in the same three pool locations. The ship retrieved a third test kit from a different manufacturer and a crew member with boots on collected three samples from the deeper water section of the pool, since the original three tests could only be taken from the shallower water in the wading area bordering the pool. The ship's first kit registered a free chlorine residual of 0.63 ppm, the ship's second kit registered 0.95 ppm, and the inspector's kit registered 0.36 ppm. The forward pool was immediately closed and netted so the chlorine concentration could be increased. The pool was re-tested using the three test kits and all values were above 1.6 ppm.
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); and (3) wading pools, between 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L.
