EXAM 2025 |COMPLETE
First step of fecal accident procedure - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
Direct all bathers to leave the pool. All affected waters must be closed to
swimming until proper procedures for contamination have been
completed.
Second step of fecal accident procedure - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
Manually remove as much of the material as possible using a net or
scoop and dispose of it in a sanitary manner. Clean and disinfect the
scoop or net. After cleaning leave the net or scoop immersed in the pool
during this infection. Vacuuming the stool is not allowed.
Establish a fecal accident log documenting....? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ (1) the date and time of the event
(2) if the accident is a result of a form stools or diarrhea
(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
,Procedures for form stool that is solid and not liquid - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Raise the free available chlorine level to 2 ppm and
ensure that the pH is between 7.2 and 7.5
Maintain the chlorine concentration for at least 25 minutes. Ensure this
concentration is found throughout all waters by sampling at least three
widely spaced locations away from return outlets
Procedures for diarrhea liquid or non-form stools - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Raise the free available chlorine level two 20 ppm and
ensure that the pH is between 7.2 and 7.5
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
Acid demand - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The amount of acid
required to reduce pH and alkalinity to the correct range
Algae - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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).
Alkalinity - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A measure of the ability of
pool water to resist changes in pH. Buffering capacity of water.
, Balanced water - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The correct ratio of
hardness, alkalinity, temperature, dissolved solids, and pH that prevent
pool water from being either corrosive or scale forming
Bromine - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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.
Bromamine - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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.
Calcium hardness - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The amount of
dissolved calcium in the pool. High levels promote scale and cloudy
water. Low levels promote corrosion of the pool or spa equipment.
Cavitation - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Formation of partial vacuums
when the pump exceeds the water supply
Chlorine - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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
