( If no, complete complaint form )

Notes: :
Routine inspection today.
Inspector closed pool due to high chlorine level. This has been increasing for a few weeks. I suspect the probes need cleaned. Do so and ensure chlorine level is below 8.0 before reopening. Once reopened, take manual tests every 4 hours for at least 24 hours to make sure it is stable.
Send an email to Diane as to how the other violations are addressed within 30 days.
