cal accident pro- until proper procedures for contamination have been completed
cedure
2. Second step of Manually remove as much of the material as possible using a net or scoop and
fecal accident dispose of it in a sanitary manner. Clean and disinfect the scoop or net. After
procedure cleaning leave the net or scoop immersed in the pool during this infection.
Vacuuming the stool is not allowed.
3. Establish a fecal (1) the date and time of the event
accident log doc- (2) if the accident is a result of a form stools or diarrhea
umenting....? (3) The free available chlorine concentration at the time or observation of the event
and before opening the public pool
(4) The pH
(5) The procedures followed to respond to the fecal accident including the process
used to increase free chlorine residual if necessary
(6) The contact time
4. Procedures for Raise the free available chlorine level to 2 ppm and ensure that the pH is between
form stool that is 7.2 and 7.5
solid and not liq- Maintain the chlorine concentration for at least 25 minutes. Ensure this concen-
uid tration is found throughout all waters by sampling at least three widely spaced
locations away from return outlets
5. Procedures for Raise the free available chlorine level two 20 ppm and ensure that the pH is
diarrhea liquid or between 7.2 and 7.5
non-form stools Maintain the chlorine concentration and pH for eight hours while ensuring that
the filtration system is operating. Backwash the filter thoroughly discharging the
effluent directly to waste. Where appropriate replace the filter media
Bathers may be allowed into pool after chlorine concentration has been returned
to normal operating ranges
6. Acid demand The amount of acid required to reduce pH and alkalinity to the correct range

7. Algae Microscopic plant like organisms that grow in water do to warm temperatures
and in adequate sanitizer. Algae can be green blue green black or yellow green
(mustard).
8. Alkalinity A measure of the ability of pool water to resist changes in pH. Buffering capacity
of water.
9. Balanced water The correct ratio of hardness, alkalinity, temperature, dissolved solids, and pH that
prevent pool water from being either corrosive or scale forming
10. Bromine A chemical element that exists as a liquid in its elemental form or as part of a
chemical compound that is an oxidant and a biocidal agent used to disinfect pool,
spa and hot tub water.
11. Bromamine Bromine-ammonia compounds formed when the bromine in the water combines
with ammonia, nitrogen or swimmer or bather waste. Unlike Chloramines they do
not smell or irritate the body. They are active sanitizers.
12. Calcium hard- The amount of dissolved calcium in the pool. High levels promote scale and cloudy
ness water. Low levels promote corrosion of the pool or spa equipment.
13. Cavitation Formation of partial vacuums when the pump exceeds the water supply
14. Chlorine A chemical element that exists as a gas in its elemental form or as a part of a
chemical compound that is an oxidant and a biocidal agent used in pool, spa,
and hot tub disinfection
15. Chlorine demand The amount of chlorine necessary to destroy the germs, algae, and other impu-
rities in the water. Demand refers to the amount required before chlorine can be
made available to continue sanitizing the pool, spa, or hot tub water.
