About the Pool and spa inspection checklist

The safety and cleanliness of your pool and spa must be taken seriously, as illness and injury are just some of the consequences that come with improper upkeep. Using a pool and spa inspection checklist can aid in making sure your residential or commercial swimming pool and spa are up to code and swimmer-safe. It helps you oversee safety signage, chemical balance, daily cleaning, and more, ensuring you meet consistent standards across your team.

Key elements of the pool and spa inspection checklist

The template features the following sections for confirming that quality and safety standards are reliably met:

  1. Rules and safety signage: Safety signs set the tone for pool behavior and alert swimmers to risks. Clear instructions, such as keeping heads above water and reminders for young swimmers, protect both visitors and staff from accidents.
  2. Safety equipment inventory: This section prompts you to inspect emergency equipment, from first aid kits to lifesaving poles and flotation devices. Regular checks here confirm you’re ready to respond quickly.
  3. Daily pool and spa cleaning: Cleanliness is the foundation of any well-maintained facility. This component guides teams through daily cleaning of pool walls, ladders, and water surfaces to prevent build-up and contamination.
  4. Pool chemicals and upkeep: Regular testing and adjusting of water chemistry help prevent health risks and protect equipment. This section captures key data on pH, chlorine, and overall water quality, ensuring that your pool water remains safe and balanced.
  5. Whirlpool and spa chemicals and upkeep: With warmer water and unique usage, whirlpools and spas require extra attention to chemical balance. This section guides you in monitoring pH, calcium hardness, and alkalinity.

Why you should use the pool and spa inspection checklist

A pool and spa inspection checklist is invaluable for making safety, hygiene, and operational consistency top priorities as you manage a facility. Use this template to maintain high standards for daily cleaning, chemical checks, and equipment maintenance, keeping your pool or spa in top condition.

It works well for routine inspections, after high-use periods, or before opening for the season to see if everything is in perfect working order. If your facility has a team, this checklist also makes it easier to standardize inspections, allowing staff to follow clear guidelines and capture critical data.

If you’re overseeing multiple pools or spas, using this checklist regularly streamlines your workflow and promotes a safer, cleaner experience for guests.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if the pool’s pH level is too low?

When a pool’s pH level is too low, it can cause skin irritation, corrosion of pool equipment, and discomfort for swimmers. To raise it, add a pH increaser, like sodium carbonate or baking soda, based on the pool’s volume. It’s best to retest the water a few hours after treatment to make sure it has stabilized within the ideal pH range of 7.2 to 7.6.

What are common signs of poor water quality in a pool?

Poor water quality shows up through cloudy water, strong chlorine odors, and skin or eye irritation in swimmers. Other signs include algae growth, slippery surfaces, or foam and debris buildup. Check and balance chemical levels regularly, clean surfaces, and run filters to maintain water clarity and safety for swimmers.

How can I prevent algae growth in my pool?

Preventing algae growth starts with regular cleaning and maintaining proper chemical levels, particularly chlorine. Brush pool walls and vacuum at least weekly to remove algae spores. Running the pool filter daily and using algaecide as a preventative measure are also effective ways to keep algae under control, especially in warm weather.
