      MINIMUM DISINFECTANT RESIDUAL

      Minimum disinfectant or sanitizer level is 0.2 for chlorine.

      Correction: Close the pool until disinfectant level is in compliance with ATCP 76.14 Table A. Pool was initially closed and chlorine was broadcasted into the pool to raise the level up to 4.0ppm of chlorine. Feeding unit was also checked to see if it was plugged.
