Commercial Pool LogFree printable pool log sheet PDF for commercial pools & spas
Everything an inspector asks to see — daily chemistry, spa tests, opening safety checks, maintenance, chemical inventory and incident records — on one clean, printable log built around the CDC Model Aquatic Health Code.
What is a commercial pool log?
A commercial pool log is the daily record a public or commercial pool keeps to prove it meets the health code: timed water tests for free chlorine (or bromine) and pH, combined chlorine, temperature, the chemicals added and why, pre-opening safety checks, equipment maintenance, chemical inventory, and any contamination incidents. Health inspectors review it at every inspection, and it is your best evidence if something goes wrong.

Commercial pool log FAQ
What is a commercial pool log?
A commercial pool log is the written record a public or commercial pool keeps to prove it meets the health code: timed water chemistry tests, chemicals added, daily safety checks, maintenance, and incidents. Inspectors review it at every inspection.
What needs to be recorded in a commercial pool log?
At minimum the date, time, free chlorine or bromine, pH, and operator initials for every test, plus combined chlorine, temperature, chemicals added and corrective actions. Most codes also expect safety inspections, maintenance, chemical inventory and incident records.
Who has to keep a commercial pool log?
Any pool regulated as public or semi-public: hotels and motels, HOAs, apartments and condos, fitness clubs, schools, municipal pools, campgrounds and water parks. The permit holder is responsible even when a pool service does the work.
Is the Commercial Pool Log free?
Yes. Enter your email and the 6-page PDF downloads immediately. Print as many copies as your facility needs.
Does the log meet my state’s requirements?
It is built on CDC Model Aquatic Health Code limits and covers the fields most state codes require, with a blank column for your local limits. Codes vary, so confirm with your health department.
