Water Quality
A chlorine value greater than X results in a pool closure.
What is greater than 5.0 ppm.
How often must operational reports be filled out by the pool manager?
Twice daily
What is the typical turnover rate for a pool
6 hours
What should be posted next to the emergency telephone
emergency contact numbers and address facility.
When scheduling an inspection in Energov, which fields need to be filled out? (Hint: 3 items)
Status to scheduled, Scheduled date, Inspector name
The pH of the pool water shall be maintained between X and X
What is 7.2 and 7.6
What two things are needed to mark a transition point when water reaches greater than 5 ft depth?
Stripe on floor and buoyed safety rope.
What is the typical turnover rate for a spa.
30 minutes
How many times do your indoor pools need to be inspected?
two times per pool year.
What do we refer to as static values?
pool volume, min flow rate, disinfectant chemical
If the water temperature is greater than 85 degrees Fahrenheit, bromine residual shall be at least X ppm
What markers do you need around the perimeter of the pool (hint: looking for 2 items)
Depth markers and no diving markers.
The filter influent should always be X than your filter effluent
greater
When does the pool year start?
May 1st
What do you look for in the Enclosure Barrier of a pool?
Atleast 4 feet high and less than 4 inches off the ground, no ready footing or handholds for climbing.
If Trichlor or Dichlor is being used as a disinfectant chemical, you must also be testing for X
cyanuric acid
Pool operators cannot place X in skimmers.
chlorine tablets
How do you calculate turnover rate?
Pool volume (gallons) divided by flow rate actual (GPM) divided by 60 (min/hr)
If a pool is talking about construction or major alteration, you must direct them to:
Name Three Filter types
HRS, Sand, Cartridge, PDE, Vacuum
What Water Quality violations result in a pool closure for: 1. Chlorine 2. Bromine 3. Turbidity
1. Chlorine less than 0.5 or greater than 5 ppm, if water temp is greater than 85F minimum is 2ppm.
2. Bromine is less than 1 or greater than 10 ppm, if water temp is 85F then minimum is 4ppm.
3. Cannot see main drain.
What safety equipment is needed? (Hint: looking for 4 items)
Coast Guard Ring Buoy with rope (50 ft long or 1/2 width of pool).
Shepherds Crook
First Aid Kit
Telephone
What gauges must you have readings for? (hint 5)
suction gauge, discharge gauge, flowmeter gauge, influent gauge, effluent gauge
If algae is noticed in the pool, what is the recommendation?
superchlorinating to 10 ppm and maintaining this level for several hours. Facility shall not be open for use during this time. Algae that cling to floor/side shall be brushed loose and removed by suction cleaner or filtration system.
If a pool is 36,000 gallons and has a flow rate actual of 180 gallons what is the turnover rate and does it meet the required turnover rate needed?
3.3 hours - yes meets :)
