General Comments

6 - Some discoloration on main drains in indoor pool. Per manufacturer, discoloration may require drains to be replaced. Ensure intact and in good repair. 15 - Outdoor ring buoy with brittle grab rope. Replace within 30 days when Intent to Suspend items are due. Ring buoy must be USCG approved. 20 - Emergency phone located on deck is not emergency phone for 911. Emergency phone is located on pool deck outside. Signage was removed at indoor phone to identify the phone as not the emergency phone. Provide signage that clearly indicates that indoor phone is not for emergency use. Plumbing re-plumbed due to installation of filters. Currently, one system only plumbed to one set of main drains and goes back to two returns. Clearly identify piping to indicate which piping is skimmers, main drains and returns. If different from PDSC form, resubmit pdsc form. No suction hazard with piping as skimmers were verified as suction and operating properly during inspection. Note: Hotel restroom without floor drain or hose bib. Pool originally constructed without.
