Pool Water Replacement and Dilution Log
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.

What this sheet is for
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.
Who it is for
Duty managers, receptionists and lifeguards at public, hotel, school and club pools that count bathers as part of their operating procedures.
How to use it
- Write the maximum bather load and the lifeguard numbers from your own pool safety operating procedures in the boxes at the top.
- Count each pool at the set times and write the numbers in their columns.
- Note who counted, what session was running and whether entry was held.
- Fill in the day summary at close: total admissions, peak count and peak time.
- Carry the day's total across to the dilution log.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A head count of the pool at set times through the day, against the limit your own operating procedures set — the number that drives dilution, dosing and how many staff are on poolside.
Your limit, written in by you. The maximum bather load, and how many lifeguards a given count needs, come from your pool safety operating procedures and the rules where you are — yours to write in the boxes, not ours to print.
Write-on lines: Site / pool · Date · Duty manager · Max bather load (whose figure) · Pools counted (main, learner, spa…) · Counted how · Lifeguards per count (whose figure) · At close — total admissions · Peak count · Peak time · Times limit reached · Sessions closed to entry
Head counts through the day — at the times your procedures set
Table, 11 rows: Time · Main pool · Second pool · Spa / other · Total in water · Lifeguards on poolside · Session or programme · Counted by · Entry held?
Questions
Why does the sheet not give a maximum bather load?
Because it is worked out from your pool's own area, depth and layout in your pool safety operating procedures, and the rules where you are may add to it. The sheet has a box for that number and a column to show when it was reached.
How often is the count done?
As often as your procedures say — the time column is blank so it can be every hour, every session or every change of lifeguard, whichever you run.
