Did you know per Contra Costa/Alameda County Health Department regulations, chemical checks of public pools and spas water is required every day and must be logged on the Health Department sheet onsite, located in the equipment room. This means even if a company like the The Pool Doctor services a pool twice a week, someone onsite must be taking and logging readings on the other five days.
In between service visits, there is no way to know if the status of a pool or spa has changed. Chemistry can be affected by outside temperature, water temperature, bather load, water level, and equipment malfunction, among other things. If someone is checking the chemistry in between visits and finds the levels too low, they can then shut the pool down and notify the service company so they can come out and correct the situation in as timely a manner as possible.
In order to facilitate this for our commercial customers, The Pool Doctor is willing to provide a once a year training of onsite personnel to demonstrate how to use test strips and where to log results on H.D. Sheets.
Failure to take these daily readings can result in the Health Department shutting the pool down, and then being subjected to a $158 reinspection fee. In fact, failure to correct any item on a Health Inspection Report within the time frame instructed can result in multiple fines if they return and find the infraction not corrected.
By hiring The Pool Doctor, experts in commercial and public pool and spa maintenance and laws, you can assure your pool or spa will never be closed.
