| A. Location Design and Construction |
| 1. Pools must be designed and constructed to withstand anticipated loads. |
| 2. Construction materials must be non-toxic, impervious and able to withstand design stresses. |
| 3. Pool deck must be well above ground level. |
| 4. Pool surface must be made to a smooth finish. |
| 5. Pool must have at least two ladders or steps with hand rails at deep and shallow end. |
| 6. Pool must have a proper filtration system. |
| 7. Trees/plants must be located so that leaves and other organic materials do not fall into the pool. |
| 8. Pools must be so constructed to prevent storm and other surface drainage from entering the pool. |
| 9. Pool must be located at a site where dirt, dust and debris will not be carried or blown into the pool. |
| B. Cleaning of Pool |
| 1. The pool must be free of visible dirt. |
| 2. Visible scum and floating matter must be immediately removed. |
| 3. Algae growth must be removed from the sides. |
| 4. Cleaning may be done by draining the pool and scrubbing the sides and bottom or by the use of suction cleaners. |
| C. Other Parameters |
| Free chlorine residual must be 2.0 – 3:00 ppm |
| ppm pH optimal 7.2 – 7.8 |
| Alkalinity: 80 – 120ppm |
| Calcium hardness: 150 – 400ppm. |
