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:
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: No
Inspector Notes: The turnover is not adequate for the pool type and size. The required flow for the pool is 104 gpm. Must be corrected immediately. For any pool that does not meet proper turnover rate two (2) times in a row, it may be deemed that changes need to occur to the filtration system or further investigation as to why turnover cannot be met. 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.
Violation #4:
21 – cyanuric acid level not exceeding maximum
511-3-5-.17(4) – (4) stabilizer (if used) cyanuric acid,ppm ideal: 30-50 maximum: 90 comments: if stabilizer is: too high: – may reduce chlorine efficacy too low: – chlorine residual rapidly destroyed by sunlight note: stabilizer is not needed in indoor or br
Points: 4
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: No
Inspector Notes: The cyanuric acid level exceeds the maximum allowance of 90 ppm. Reduce CYA to get maximum effectiveness of the chlorine. Code: Stabilizer (if used) Cyanuric acid, ppm Ideal: 30-50 Maximum: 90 Comments: If stabilizer is: Too High: – May reduce chlorine efficacy Too Low: – Chlorine Residual rapidly destroyed by sunlight Note: Stabilizer is not needed in indoor or brominated pools and spas.

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. 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 outlined for depth markers. Correct prior to permitting 2028.
Violation #6:
22 – signs: peak occupancy/pool/spa/signs legible and in clearview

Points: 2
Corrected during inspection?: No
Repeat: No
Inspector Notes: The “No Lifeguard on Duty” sign does not meet the code requirements for the correct letter height of 4 inches.
