Inspections are an essential part of aquatics and recreational water programs. Use our resources to improve your program's inspections of public pools, hot tubs, and water parks.
Importance of inspections
Inspections assess whether aquatic facility's operation and maintenance meet the standards set in the jurisdiction’s public health code. During inspections, environmental health practitioners can serve as illness-and-injury-prevention advisors to pool operators. Immediate closures and violations offer an opportunity to educate operators about proper operation and maintenance and how it prevents repeated violations.
