[Nhhoa] Pool Problems

[scott and vicki]

Before I begin I would like to say that the pool contract is in the past, I am writing this as a concern homeowner and a certified pool operator. we check all pools our kids get in weather in its a hotel, a friends house, or here in the neighborhood


The pool has been open for about one month now and we have found two major pool violations that have been brought to the boards attention. 

The first was a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday their was no chlorine reading. the pool should have been close. we spoke with the county and they said unless they catch them there is nothing that can be done. They also said since we are not the CPO of record there is nothing we can do except report it so we did. Also only the CPO of record can add chemicals not board members or homeowners.

The second problem was yesterday when we found chlorine tabs in the skimmer basket. Those of you that do not know the skimmer basket is the hole in the side of the pool where the leaves and debris floating on top goes in to be caught. This is a major hazard to swimmers and a major liability to the homeowners.

As it was stated in the annual meeting we have kids from other neighborhood coming and swimming in our pool unsupervised . If one of these kids or even one of our own kids reach in and started playing with this tablet or god forbid takes a bite of this it would be very bad.
It was also stated in the annual meeting that all homeowners can be held liable as well. 
The new pool company told the board that 5 days a week  was unnecessary. I believe they are finding out that this is a real high traffic pool and it takes more than they thought. I hope they do not continue to cut corners and get us in trouble or someone sick.

I know Aqua Touch told the board the something, however this would have been just a cost saving measure as I stated in the beginning we check all pool before our kids get in. 

Parents please watch your kids and check the chemicals in the pools. A kit is only $10 and takes 15 sec to dip a stick for your and your kids safety.
