Points: 15
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: No
Inspector Notes: The chlorine level does not meet minimum requirement of at least 2ppm. Must be corrected prior to re-inspection. The pool operates as a stabilized pool. Code: Chlorine in stabilized pools must be between 2pp-10ppm.
Violation #2:
7 – ph between 7.2 and 7.8
511-3-5-.23(5)(b) – (b) during operation, the ph is less than the minimum or more than the maximum levels allowed in dph rule 511-3-5-.l7.
Points: 15
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: No
Inspector Notes: The pH does not meet minimum requirement of 7.2ppm. Code: pH should be maintained between 7.2 and 7.8. Must be corrected prior to permitting.
Violation #3:
11 – appropriate lifesaving equipment present
511-3-5-.18(10)(a) – (a) a light, strong pole not less than twelve feet long including body hook.
Points: 15
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: No
Inspector Notes: The strong pole and body hook are present. However, the body hook is not attached to the strong pole.

Code: A light, strong pole not less than twelve feet long including body hook.
Violation #4:
18 – combined chlorine level 0.4 ppm or less
511-3-5-.17(1) – (1) disinfectant levels (a) free chlorine, ppm in pools not using cyanuric acid or a stabilized chlorine compound use (b),1.-5.
Points: 5
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: No
Inspector Notes: The combined chlorine exceeds the maximum allowance of .4ppm. Reduce combined chlorine to ensure effectiveness of chlorine.
Violation #5:
19 – adequate turnover rate
511-3-5-.07(1)(a) – (a) the equipment for a swimming pool shall be of adequate size to turn over the entire pool water capacity. the turnover rate for pools constructed after the adoption of this chapter shall not exceed the sum of one and one-half times the average wat
Points: 5
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: Yes
Inspector Notes: The turnover can not be determined for the pool type and size. The numbers on the flowmeter are worn off. The flowmeter must be replaced so that the flow can be accurately read. Code: The equipment for a swimming pool shall be of adequate size to turn over the entire pool water capacity. The turnover rate for pools constructed after the adoption of this chapter shall not exceed the sum of one and one-half times the average water depth in feet; where the number of hours is equal to the number feet calculated, or exceed once every six hours whichever is less. Unless the rate is otherwise specified in subsection (b) below. This system shall be designed to give the proper turnover rate based on the manufacturer’s recommended maximum pressure flow of the filter in dirty media condition of the filter, immediately prior to cleaning the filter. Must be corrected prior to routine inspection.
Violation #6:
22 – signs: peak occupancy/pool/spa/signs legible and in clearview
511-3-5-.18(12)(a) – (a) the words “no diving” and the universal international symbol for “no diving” shall be permanently visible at the edge of the deck for water five feet in depth or less, placed only on the deck beside the depth markers, and shall conform to that ou
Points: 2
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: Yes
Inspector Notes: The words “No Diving” does not meet the minimum height requirements for the depth markers. There is no universal symbol for No Diving present at each depth marker.
