Health Code Compliance & Inspection Prep FAQs
Who inspects commercial pools in Las Vegas?
The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) Environmental Health Division inspects public and semi-public pools in Clark County, including HOA, apartment, hotel, and municipal pools. Pools can be inspected without notice and closed immediately for serious violations.
What are the most common reasons a Las Vegas commercial pool gets closed?
The most common SNHD pool closures are chlorine or pH out of range, missing or broken drain covers, non-functioning pumps or filters, missing safety equipment, broken gate latches, and cloudy water with poor main drain visibility.
What chlorine level does SNHD require for public pools?
SNHD requires free chlorine of at least 1.0 ppm in pools and 3.0 ppm in spas, with pH between 7.2 and 7.8. Gator Pools logs these readings at every visit.
