Potable Water-
|
|
Violation:
The free halogen residual of the bunkered water was tested at 1.10 ppm, 1.20 ppm, 0.50 ppm, and 0.99 ppm. These tests were conducted between 12:10 pm and 12:25 pm. The analyzer chart recorder noted levels above 2.0 ppm during this time frame. The two bunker station chlorine dosing pumps were said to be on the maximum dosing levels. The staff chief engineer added two pails of chlorine to the tank. The free halogen level reached above 2.0 ppm.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure that potable water is continuously halogenated to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) free residual halogen at the time of bunkering or production with an automatic halogenation device that is controlled by a flow meter.

Site:
Whirlpool/Spa-
|
|
Violation:
A review of the halogen analyzer charts noted free bromine residuals of less than 4 ppm for several hours. This was noted for more than one whirlpool and occured over several days. The accomodations staff were conducting manual tests every four hours and these tests noted levels of at least 4.0 ppm but the tests were not conducted frequently enough for the results to replace the automated testing results. Additonally, on a few occassions when a member of the engineering staff performed a calibration check during times when the bromine resiudal was less than 4.0 ppm there was no indication if any action was taken when the calibration check confirmed the low reading.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure that whirlpool spas are maintained at a free residual chlorine of >3.0 mg/L (ppm) and <10 mg/L (ppm), or a free residual bromine of >4.0 mg/L (ppm) and <10 mg/L (ppm).
