Pool Girl Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 ...or when is 3 gites three gites? If a complex was an owners house and 2 gites (but the owner is only there for holidays) does that mean the more stringent rules apply? What if the owners house was let out sometimes? (ie all three houses let simultaneously.) If two gites are let and the owners are there, can they use the pool? would the less stringent rules apply if only ever two of the three gites were let at any one time.Any clarification would be greatfully received!

Poolguy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hi Pool girl(we must be related somehow....?)As far as I am aware, that if you are charging monies for the use of the Pool(along with the accommodation) then you are classified as a 'public' pool andtherefore are automatically embroiled under the purview of the DDASS and behovento they inspections for water cleanliness.I do know that this varies from Department to Department depending on how manyinspectors they have. For in some places, people with only one Gite and who arenot registered as a business will more than likely escape such attentions.However, I am fairly sure that if you are a registered business, then your filewill be made known to the DDASS and therefore you should not be surprised tomeet an inspector who is hell bent on filling his little beaker from your pool.If, when you receive the result sometime later, you learn that you have failedthe test for one reason or another, then it can be quite catastrophic for theyhave the power to close the pool entirely and/or demand that it be pumpedimmediately.So for the sake of assurance of the continuing use of your facilities it is aswell to get well versed in their requirements and make sure that your equipmentand pool management regime are compatible with their spec.PM me if you need specific helpAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Girl Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks for that, we are still at the "looking for a gite/s" stage, and I thought there were more stringent rules for 3+ gites than one or two.....must have been reading too much!
