3.3 | AQUATICS ASSESSMENTS INTRODUCTION

In addition to site and building assessments, the condition and mechanics of the aquatic features were observed to determine the appropriate action required at each site. The following section outlines key findings. The expanded aquatics assessment with photos and recommended priority items can be found in the appendix.

KEELEY PARK Overview

Sprayground Mechanical Room › The overall room was well organized and clean. The filtration system uses two “skid mounted” sand filters, a filtration pump, and a feature pump. The overall system also includes an automated chemical controller and feeder system. › The systems appeared to be in good working order. Chemical Delivery System › Overall the chemical rooms are in fair condition. The original “secondary containment” crocks are not being used as intended. Chemicals are being pumped from barrels into these crocks. Sprayground Ground - Chemical Safety Consideration › Overall chemical safety practices should be reviewed. › Incompatible chemicals (acid and chlorine) are being stored next to each other. › Chemical barrels are blocking the emergency eyewash station.

› Outdoor seasonal spray ground with separate holding tank and pool water filtration system. › Plans indicate that the holding tank has a capacity of 2,000 gallons. › Water Odyssey Toys and Features. Pool Decks › Heavy staining is present on the deck and spray features. The source of this staining is likely the source water. › Any dissolved metals will cause stains on porous surfaces. › Hot water high volume low pressure washing and metal sequestering chemicals may help. › Minor cracks and concrete settling were noted. Suggest consulting with a concrete company for repair options. › There are overlay product options that could be considered. Sprayground Features › Heavy staining is present on the spray features. The source of this staining is likely the source water. Any dissolved metals will cause stains on porous surfaces. › Hot water high volume low pressure washing and metal sequestering chemicals may help. › These features are poured in place and would need to be painted or restored in place.
