     ELECTRONIC MONITORING WATER POTENTIAL

     The water potential ("ORP") is not being recorded or monitored electronically. After discussion with pool staff, the pool is being tested manually for the ORP but there is no record keeping to show that the orp is between 650-900 mV.

     Correction: Maintain water potential between 650−900 mV, and manually test the water if the water potential reads below 650 mV or above 900 mV.
