Additionally, due to the lack of a certified pool operator on staff, lack of operational records (including daily/weekly/monthly testing), lack of monthly microbial analyses, and general lack of training of pool staff on material safety data sheets and emergency plan for the pool and spa both the pool and spa are closed until these items can be satisfactorily addressed.
