Staff stated that they checked the tank without entering to it, but there was nothing on the records documenting that this was in fact what happened.

Recreational Water Facilities-Aft & Main Pool Fountains

Each of these two pools had a decorative fountain in the pool beach area that overflowed into the pools. The water for the fountains came from the pools. There were sprays in the fountains and a waterfall effect on each fountain that went into the pools. A facility with sprays and waterfalls meets the definition of an interactive recreational water facility (RWF). The pools comply with the turnover rates for pools but not for interactive RWFs. This RWF set-up is currently under VSP evaluation for this and other ships of the fleet.

Recreational Water Facilities-Slide Pool & Children Pool

These RWFs had a combined system. The water is chlorinated correctly as an interactive RWF, but the turnover rate was 2 hours 30 minutes. This combined system should meet the most restrictive turnover rate which is 30 minutes as required for the children facility. A variance request is currently under VSP evaluation.
