General Comments

Inspection conducted with Matt Love. Due to COVID-19 precautions, inspection was not signed by the operator. Operator's test strips reading significantly lower pH than my DPD test kit. Recommend using a DPD test kit for chlorine and pH. Recommend having automatic chemical feeder recalibrated. Some offsets between pavers and skimmer lids. Ensure that it doesn't worsen and become a trip hazard. Wall tiles very dirty, difficult to read some of the depth markers. Clean tiles regularly. Updated pool log sheets are available on our website, Meckpools.Charmeck.org. Pre-permit inspection did not pass 3) 6) 15) 18) 21) 24) There is a $100 reinspection fee that will need to be paid prior to scheduling a re-inspection. This can be done by calling our office (980-314-1620) and paying with a credit card.
