Materials:
60 minutes
State & Local Code Supplement Slides
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Copy of local or state codes
Appendices A-2 and B-1 (from Pool & Spa Operator Handbook)
CDC Model Aquatic Health Code
Objectives: At the end of this lesson, the student will be able to:
1. List the local and state codes that apply to pool operations in his/her state
2. List the types of records that must be kept by a pool operator
3. Compare the local state code with the model aquatic health code as it applies to the
operator’s responsibilities (optional)
Leading Questions:
What are the most important codes applicable to your operations?
What records does the local or state health department require relative to your
operation?
Do you know the required turnover rate required in your state or county?
Do you know if there is a maximum patron load for your facility?
Key Points: Review the chemical test typically recommended by the industry and compare to the
local health code requirement. These include:
Disinfectant, pH, calcium hardness, total alkalinity, cyanuric acid, etc. (See parameters
in Appendix B-1).
Facility design and construction.
Facility operation and management.
Activity: Review Appendix B-1 with a copy of the local health code to determine areas of
compatibility and difference. Have students indicate possible reasons for difference.
Key Points: Discuss the applicable minimum and maximum levels for each of the required
chemical tests indicated in the health code and compare to the industry standard. These would
include values for:
Free Chlorine
Total Chlorine
Combined Chlorine
pH
Total Alkalinity
Calcium Hardness
Cyanuric Acid
