Cyanuric Acid (For Pools on a Dichlor/Trichlor system) ithe ier acid is ie i or above the pool is sai Report: For cyanuric acid greater than 200 malL, “The pool water was in an unsatisfactory condition for use at the time of sampling due to the high cyanuric acid content. It is recommended that the cyanuric acid be reduced to less than 200 mg/L by more frequent water replacement NOTES: Hypochlorite: Alkaline ~ Makes Pool water pH higher: Corrected with an Acid product ~ ‘commonly HCL, Sodium Bisulphate (dry acid), CO2 (carbonic acid). Trichloridichlor: Acid - Makes Pool water pH lower: Corrected with an Alkaline product ~ commonly Soda ash 8. Chemical Analysis ‘Sulphate ~ recommended maximum 360 mg/L. Report: Sulphate > 360 mg/l. The sulphate concentration was above the recommended maximum of 360 mg/L and could cause attack of cementitious materials. It is recommended that the sulphate concentration be reduced to less than 360 mg/L. by water replacement. ‘Ammoniacal and Albuminoid nitrogen For pools not treated using chemical containing cyanuric acid (trichlor_or_dichlor) or dimethylhydantoin (bromine tablets) Concentrations of 0.6 mg/L. or less show effective breakdown of pollutants Report: Chemical analysis shows effective breakdown of pollutants,Concentrations of 0.6 mg/L or more suggest the pool is being overloaded Report: Chemical analysis suggests that the water treatment plant is having some difficulty coping with the pollution loading. The design bather load for the pool shoule not be exceeded. For_pool using _ct containing cyanuric acid (trichlor_or_dichlor) dimethylhydantoin (bromine tablets) Both cyanuric acid and DMH will contribute to the permanganate value, and albuminoid nitrogen content, any comments made can therefore only be based on the ammoniacal nitrogen content and the comments above will apply. Permanganate Value Permanganate values should be 2 mg/L or less, the only exception are those pools treated using chemical containing cyanuric acid (trichlor or dichlor) or dimethylhydantoin (bromine tablets) Where Permanganate Values exceed 2 ma/L Report: ‘The Permanganate Value indicates the pool has been subjected to a high 2ollution loading. The design bather load should not be exceeded. 9. Bacteriological analysis. Initially the results should be assessed in their entirety 37°C, Coliforms, E.coll, Pseudomonas spp and Pseudo) aeruginosa all zero Report: Bacteriological analysis shows the water quality to have been excellent at the time of sampling, TVC @ 37°C >10 < 100 ofu/m!

Report: Bacteriological analysis shows higher than preferred colony counts in excess of the recommended maximum of 100 cfuml.Pseudomonas spp <100 cfu/100ml Report: Bacteriological analysis has shown the presence of relatively low numbers pf Pseudomonas bacteria. The species isolated has not been identified as being detrimental to health. Prolonged contact with the free chlorine/total bromine reserves detected (ASSUMING THEY ARE OK) should eradicate them. Pseudmonas spp >100 <1000 ofulm! Report: Bacteriological analysis has shown the presence of higher than preferred numbers pf Pseudomonas bacteria. The species isolated has not been identified as being detrimental to health, Prolonged contact with the free chlorine/total bromine reserves detected (ASSUMING THEY ARE OK) should eradicate them. Pseudomonas spp >1000 cfu/ml Report: Bacteriological analysis has shown the presence of unsatisfactory high numbers of Pseudomonas bacteria. Whilst the species isolated has not been identified as being detrimental to health, the numbers detected suggest that the water treatment plant is having some difficulty coping with the pollution loading, It is recommended that the filters are thoroughly backwashed in accordance with the Manufacturers instuctions. Prolonged contact with free chlorine reserves maintained between 2 to 3 mg/l. should then eradicate the bacteria detected ‘Total Coliforms and E.coli Total coliforms & E.coli values of zero ~ satisfactory Total coliforms >0 <10 Report: The pool water was in an unsatisfactory condition at the time of sampling dus to the presence of coliform organisms. E.colin0 Report: ‘The pool water was in an unsatisfactory condition at the time of sampling due to the presence of E.coli Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa value of zero satisfactoryPs aeruginosa >10<: fl Report: Bacteriological analysis has shown the presence of low numbers of pseucomonas aeruginosa, a potentially pathogenic bacteria associated with skin rashes and ear infections. ‘Provided free chlorine and pH residuals are maintained witrin their recommended ranges, resampling only is recommended initially Psou inosa > 60 cfulm! Report: Bacteriological analysis has shown the presence of unsatisfactorily high numbers of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a potentially pathogenic bacteria associated with skin rashes and ear infections. It is recommended that the pool is closed, filter backwashed thoroughly in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, free chlorine and pH residuals are maintained at the top of their recommended ranges and level deck grilles and balance tanks are cleaned and chlorinated . Resampling should then be undertaken. Legionella Legionellae <100 cfulltre — satisfactory ‘The spa pool is in an unsatisfactory condition for use due to the presence of Legionella. It is recommended that the spa pool be removed from use as a matter of urgency. Itis recommended that the pool be dosed with free chlorine to a concentration of 50mg/L, the water circulated and the balance tank and grilles be thoroughly scrubbed with the 50 mg/L solution. The fiter should then be thoroughly backwashed and the pool left to circulate overnight. Where possible air blowers and water jet lines should also be chlorinated. The pool should be backwashed the following morning and the pool and balance tank drained and refilled. The pool should then be dosed with chlorine such that a free chlorine concentration of between 3 to 5 mg/L is achieved and further samples taken for bacteriological and Legionella analysis. The pool should be kept out of use until results obtained are satisfactory and show that remedial works have been effective. The air and water booster jets should be kept switched off and be run for 5 to 10 mins each day to ensure they are exposed to chlorinated water. The free chlorine concentration must then be maintained during the intervening period between 3-5 mg/L and management and operation “egimes ineluding your spa pool Legionella audit and risk assessment should be reviewed as a matter of urgency.‘Oakland Calvert Consultants Unit 20, Greemwich Centre Business Park '3 Norman Road, London SE10 QF “Tel: 0044 (0) 20 8853 3900 ax: 0044 (0) 20 8853 3907 E-mail: info@oaklandealverco.uk www oaklandealvert co.uk Client: Bam FM Lid To: Premises: Swiss Cottage School Hydrotherapy pool NWS 6HX Dear Sir/Madam ‘A visit was made to your swimming pool on and samples of water taken and examined on site have shown the following results: Onder No FMO243 00005 Time of Sampling ory Number af haters TemperatareC ror OUTLET Observations: ‘The on site analysis suggests the pool water is in a satistuctory/unsatisfactory condition for bathing purposes subject to analysis of further samples taken for chemical and microbiological analysis. ‘The following points require your attention: ‘The pH level is too low and should be raised to 7.2 -7.8 ‘The pH level is too high and should be lowered to between 7.2 -7.8 ‘The free chlorine level is too high and should be reduced to a maximum of 5 mg/L. prior to use ‘The free chlorine level is too low and should be raised above 1 mgil and ideally to 2 -3 mg/L prior to further use ‘The combined chlorine concentration is too high and should be lowered to less than | mg/L by water replacement/backwashing. ‘The total dissolved solids content is too high and should be lowered to less than 1500 mg/L by water replacement.
