	Comment: pH is extremely high today (pool is closed due to recent rainstorms). The automatic reading showed the pH to be at 7.6, which it was not. I recommend having someone service your automatic reader as it does not appear to be working correctly.

A swimming pool is not required to have more than ten units of lifesaving equipment.
	Comment: Please have at least one lifesaving unit hung in a conspicuous location on the fence. The shepherd's crook you have does not have a pole attached to it.
