The Florida Department of Health regulates all public pools and bathing places as defined in Chapter 64E-9 of the Florida Administrative Code. This regulation is considered a significant factor in the prevention of disease, sanitary nuisances, and accidents. This program includes public pools, hotels, apartment complexes, and condominiums.
The many private swimming pools in our community are not included.
All of these facilities are inspected at least twice a year to assure:
- Proper disinfection of pool water
- Chemical balance of pool water
- Filtration equipment is properly maintained
- Safety equipment is maintained on site
