Why a pool log is essential
A hotel pool is one of the most photographed parts of the property and one of the riskiest. Cloudy water, eye irritation or a strong chemical smell quickly turn into poor reviews, and a safety incident can be far more serious. A daily pool log makes sure the water is tested before guests swim, that cleaning tasks are done, and that there is a written record if a guest, auditor or authority asks.
The two readings that matter most
- Free chlorine: 1 to 3 ppm. Free chlorine is the sanitiser actually available to kill germs. Too low and the water is not safe; too high and guests complain of irritation.
- pH: 7.2 to 7.8. pH affects how well chlorine works and how comfortable the water feels. Low pH can corrode equipment and irritate eyes; high pH makes chlorine less effective and can make the water cloudy.
Both targets are editable in the tool. Follow local regulations and your chemical supplier's guidance where they differ.
What to log every day
- Free chlorine and pH at each check time, starting before opening.
- Water temperature and clarity. If you cannot see the pool floor clearly, keep the pool closed.
- Skimmer and basket cleaning, vacuuming and filter backwash.
- Every chemical added, with name and quantity, so overdosing can be traced.
- Number of bathers, if you want to link chemical demand to pool use.
Good practice for hotel pools
- Train one or two staff members to test water properly, and keep the test kit reagents in date.
- Dose chemicals only when the pool is closed, and wait as advised before reopening.
- Store chemicals separately, locked and dry. Never mix them.
- Keep rescue equipment, first aid and emergency numbers at the poolside.
- Review the log weekly. Repeated low chlorine readings point to a dosing or filtration problem.
Add pool checks to your monthly SOPs and to the engineering section of your audit routine. If you are setting up a new resort, the hotel license checklist helps you list local approvals.
Frequently asked questions
What should the chlorine level be in a hotel swimming pool?
This log uses a free chlorine range of 1 to 3 ppm, with pH between 7.2 and 7.8. Follow local regulations and your chemical supplier's guidance if they set different limits.
How often should pool water be tested?
Test before opening every day and again at regular intervals during open hours, more often on busy days. Record every reading, not just the morning one.
What should I do if the pool water is cloudy?
Keep the pool closed until the floor is clearly visible and chlorine and pH are back in range. Check filtration, backwash if needed and record the action in the log.
