For a 1,850 gallon spa in a very busy local gym, how many days on average would pass before getting complaints of burning eyes and itchy skin from bathers using the spa?

3 days
6 days
9 days
12 days

The correct answer is: 3 days

In a high-traffic environment like a local gym with a 1,850 gallon spa, the water can absorb more contaminants due to the increased number of bathers using the facility. This increased bather load can lead to a quicker buildup of chloramines and other impurities in the water, causing issues like burning eyes and itchy skin for the bathers. Therefore, in such a busy setting, it is more likely that complaints about water quality will arise sooner rather than later. This is why the correct answer is A, which indicates that complaints are expected after 3 days on average.
