(A) The maximum number of bathers permitted within the pool at any one time shall not exceed the following:
(1) For Class A, B, and C pools, one person for each 25 square feet of water surface.
(2) For Class D pools, one person for each ten square feet of water surface.
(B) There shall be an allowance of 300 square feet for each diving board or platform in addition to the amount needed for swimming purposes. A sign shall be posted at the entrance of the pool stating the design bathing load capacity of the pool. The pool owner shall be responsible for seeing that the maximum capacity is not exceeded.
('74 Code, § 11-5-7B.1) (Ord. 12-1978; Am. Ord. 59-1987; Am. Ord. 51-1989; Am. Ord. 12-1993)
The water in the swimming pool at times of use shall be sufficiently clear to allow the main drain outlet to be clearly visible from the runway around the deep area. A swimming pool failing to meet this requirement shall be immediately closed by the person in charge.
('74 Code, § 11-5-7B.2) (Ord. 12-1978; Am. Ord. 59-1987; Am. Ord. 51-1989; Am. Ord. 12-1993)
The buildings, grounds, dressing rooms, walkways and all other such facilities shall be kept clean, in a sanitary condition, and maintained free of garbage, trash and other refuse. Dirt and scum in pools shall be removed at least daily or more often as necessary to maintain sanitary conditions. A portable vacuum cleaning system or a vacuum cleaning system which is an integral part of the recirculation system shall be provided. Visible algae shall be removed in a manner which will minimize reoccurrence.
('74 Code, § 11-5-7B.3) (Ord. 12-1978; Am. Ord. 59-1987; Am. Ord. 51-1989; Am. Ord. 12-1993)
(A) Pool water shall be disinfected through the use of chlorine, hypochlorites or other equally effective disinfectant approved by the Enforcement Authority. The pool shall be disinfected via an automatic disinfection system bearing the National Sanitation Foundation Seal of Approval for the disinfectant being dispensed.
(1) If chlorination is used, the chlorine residual shall not be less than 0.4 ppm and not greater than 1.5 ppm of free available chlorine at all times the pool is in operation.
(2) If chlorinated cyanurate disinfection is used, the residual shall not be less than 1.0 ppm and not greater than 4 ppm of free available chlorine at all times the pool is in operation unless a greater residual is approved by the Enforcement Authority.
(3) If bromine is used, the free bromine residual shall not be less than 2.0 ppm at all times the pool is in operation and not greater than 6.0 ppm unless a greater residual is approved by the Enforcement Authority.
(4) Class C and Class D pools using chlorine shall be disinfected to maintain a minimum disinfectant residual 50% greater than specified above.
(5) Other methods of disinfection shall provide a measurable halogen residual and will be permitted only after approval by the Enforcement Authority. Oxidization of pool water shall be required on all alternative methods of disinfection.
(6) A pool not meeting this disinfectant requirement shall be closed immediately and remain closed to all uses until the disinfection deficiency is corrected.
(B) The disinfection residual in a swimming pool shall be checked immediately prior to being opened to swimming. Frequent checks shall be made on the amount of disinfectant residual during periods of heavy bather load and during periods of high intensity of sunlight.
(C) A disinfectant comparator testing kit approved by the Enforcement Authority, capable of measuring at least the disinfectant residual ranges required in this section shall be used by the permit holder.
(D) The pH of the water in the pool shall be maintained between 7.2 and 8.0. A pH testing kit, to read from 6.8 to 8.2 with at least two intermediate readings, shall be used by the permit holder. When the pH drops below 7.0 or rises above 8.2 in the pool water, the pool shall be closed to all uses.
(E) If chlorinated cyanurate disinfection is used, the maximum permissible concentration of cyanuric acid shall not be normally greater than 100 ppm, and a test kit for cyanuric acid shall be used by the permit holder.
(F) Hand dosing of disinfectant is not allowed except for the purpose of super-disinfection and/or for bringing the residual up to required levels when the pool is closed. Super-chlorination to achieve breakpoint chlorination shall be done when the difference between free and total chlorine is greater than .4 ppm. No use of the pool will be allowed until the chlorine residual has dropped to 4.0 ppm or below throughout the pool.
(G) If gas chlorination is used, suitable equipment for feeding chemicals to maintain the required pH shall be used.
(H) Total dissolved solids shall not exceed the lesser of either 3,000 ppm or 2,000 ppm over the amount found to naturally occur in the supply water.
('74 Code, § 11-5-7B.4) (Ord. 12-1978; Am. Ord. 59-1987; Am. Ord. 51-1989; Am. Ord. 12-1993)
(A) Daily operating records shall be kept and shall include the following:
(1) Date;
(2) Time of backwashing;
(3) Disinfectant residuals;
(4) Filter pressure;
(5) Circulation rate;
(6) pH of pool water;
(7) Kinds and quantities of chemicals added;
(8) The name of the pool operator;
(9) Visibility of pool bottom;
(10) Name, if applicable, of lifeguard on duty; and
(11) Testing of automatic sensor equipment.
(B) Monthly records shall be kept of cyanuric acid test results.
(C) Accidents shall be recorded.
(D) All such records shall be made available to the Enforcement Authority upon request for inspection and copying.
('74 Code, § 11-5-7B.5) (Ord. 12-1978; Am. Ord. 59-1987; Am. Ord. 51-1989; Am. Ord. 12-1993)
