Licenses shall be suspended automatically if the minimum requirements as provided are not complied with.
The Board of Health of the Borough of Glenolden will determine what purification processes are necessary to maintain the standards herein required.

Bromine, liquid chlorine, sodium or calcium hypochloride or other approved chlorine compounds shall be used for swimming pool disinfection. The amount of free chlorine residual in the water at all times when the pool is in use shall not be less than 0.4 part per million nor exceed 1.0 part per million. Bromine, using a bromine test kit, shall not fall below 1.0 part per million nor exceed 3.0 parts per million, and when using a chlorine test kit, shall not fall below 0.5 part per million nor exceed 1.5 parts per million.
The water at all times when the pool is in use shall show an alkaline reaction of not less than 7.2 pH and not exceeding 7.8 pH for chlorine, and for bromine reaction shall show a pH of 7.1 and not exceeding 7.5 pH.
At all times when the pool is in use the water shall be sufficiently clear to permit a black disk six inches in diameter in a white field, when placed on the bottom of the pool at the deepest point, to be clearly visible from the sidewalk around the pool.
The water of any inside pool shall be heated to a temperature of 69° F. to 72° F. The temperature of the air surrounding an artificially heated swimming pool shall not be permitted to become more than 8° F. warmer nor more than 2° F. cooler than the water in a pool at any time when the pool is in use.
A. 
Not more than 10% of representative samples of pool water taken on different days shall contain more than 100 bacteria per cubic centimeter of water according to a bacteria count as determined by a standard nutrient agar test with 24 hours' incubation at 37° C.
B. 
No more than two out of five samples collected on the same day, nor more than three out of 10 consecutive samples collected on different days, shall have a positive presumptive test for B. coli in ten-cubic-centimeter portions.
C. 
Bacteriological analysis of the water in bathing places when in use shall be made at least weekly or more often if required, and copies of the results of such analysis shall be filed promptly in the office of the Borough of Glenolden.
D. 
Samples collected from public or semipublic bathing places shall be examined for bacteriological analysis in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods of Water Analysis of the American Public Health Association by a laboratory approved by the Board of Health of the Borough of Glenolden equipped for carrying out the techniques specified.
