Public Pool Bather Load Record
Put a real number on how busy the pool was and when, so the dilution, the dosing and the staffing can all be read against the same count instead of against a guess.

A free printable pool dilution record sheet — meter start and end, volume of fresh water in, the reason and bathers since the last row, with month totals.

Show how much fresh water a pool has really had against how many people have used it, so a pool that is being under-diluted is found from the meter rather than from a complaint about the air.
Plant operators and pool managers on commercial and shared pools where fresh water in is metered and dilution is part of the operating procedures.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Fresh water going into a pool — backwash make-up, deliberate dilution, top-ups and refills after a leak — read off the meter and set against the bathers that made it necessary.
Your dilution figure, not ours. How much fresh water a pool needs per bather, and which reading tells you the water is tired, is a figure from your pool operating procedures or your operator's scheme — write it in the box below so the log has something to be measured against. The sheet prints no dilution rate of its own.
Write-on lines: Pool / property · Pool volume · Make-up meter serial · Dilution figure per bather (whose)
Write-on lines: Month · Total fresh water in · Total bathers · Fresh water per bather (worked out) · Against your figure
Table, 9 rows: Date · Meter start · Meter end · Volume in · Reason · Bathers since last · Reading that prompted it · Running total · By
Because the figure comes from your operator's scheme or your pool operating procedures, and a public pool, a hydrotherapy pool and a hotel pool do not share one. There is a box for yours; the log is then measured against it.
Water that goes down the drain on a backwash is replaced from the mains through the same meter, so it appears here. Write the reason as backwash so it can be told apart from deliberate dilution when the month is added up.
Put a real number on how busy the pool was and when, so the dilution, the dosing and the staffing can all be read against the same count instead of against a guess.
Turn the plant operator's walk-round into a row of readings that can be laid beside yesterday's, so a filter that is slowly blinding or a day tank that is emptying faster than it did last week is seen as a trend.
Track water chemistry as a trend, so you can correct a drift early instead of chasing a problem after it appears.
Keep the physical weekly round going even when the chemistry looks fine, by giving it its own tick sheet instead of leaving it to memory.
