| POOL RESOURCES |
On June 12, 2020, the County of San Diego, Health Officer Order was amended to allow the use of swimming pools, which also includes waders and interactive water features (i.e. splashpads). However indoor swimming and spas/hot tubs/sauna indoors and outdoors must remain closed.
Prior to re-opening, each swimming pool facility will need to review and implement COVID-19 preventative measures described in the County of San Diego Public Swimming Pool Operations During COVID-19 Guidance and complete and post a copy of the County Safe Re-Opening Plan at the pool facility. Section E of the Safe Re-Opening Plan must be filled in with a description of the precautions your facility has implemented to meet the measures in the County of San Diego Public Swimming Operations During COVID-19 Guidance.
Ensure pool chemicals are balanced and the filtration system is functional so the pool water remains clear to reduce the risk of drowning. This will also prevent the pool from becoming a mosquito breeding source.
The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) recommends the following best practices to maintain your swimming pool:
- Maintain free available chlorine levels at 2.0-4.0 ppm
- Maintain pH at 7.2-7.8
- Maintain a schedule for the recirculation system to be operable
