Pool Surface Notes
The surface is uniform and smooth with little or no discoloration found
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is made with gunite and some plaster. Gunite is designed to hold shape while plaster is designed to hold water. Since this pool is over 10 - 15+ years and water loss / new water is present it may be best to consider re plastering the entire surface in the next 1-10 years or when necessary. There are only small sections near the edges where small cracks are naturally developing. This can easily be corrected by plastering over this area to ensure water loss doesn’t spread. Approx cost to address small cracks and leaks located on the far water line; $200-500. Otherwise I would expect this application to last another 10-30 years without major issue.
