The pool surface is in fair to good condition for being 12 - 22 years old.

The spa surface is in fair to poor condition and shows more signs of age due to being left dry several times in the past.

[Water Loss] The spa is reported by home owner to have been losing water for the past year or more, all the way down to the main drain of the spa but not actually out of the main drain of the spas pipe head (when removing main drain cover). Leak detection is set to be performed (2/24/18).

In 1 - 15 years the estimated cost to replaster pool and spa ($4500-7500) by method of jack hammering out old plaster to gunit (1/8" - 1") and and re plastering (best method for plaster longevity).

Approx cost to re-do decking surrounding pool.

No loose or missing, instead, medium calcium build up throughout. Approx cost of $550.

Due to large amounts of foliage in the water currently and "often" (as described from home owners)I would recommend testing and removing phosphates from the water using this older filter as once complete, the filter elements will most likely need to be replaced in the near future.

The cyanuric acid level is low, recommend increasing to a level of 20 ppm, for this 20K gallon pool (2-6 lbs of cyanuric powder or 1 -
2 bottles of liquid cyanuric).

The Skimmer opening and the concrete decking have shifted approx 2” due to improper prep of compacted base on concrete work. This can lead to a leak of weighted concrete smashing pipe into ground down further than its currently intended. In a way removin this concrete slab is best for slimmer longevity ($2500). Otherwise Replacment of skimmer may be necessary due to a crack at the skimmer base or at the skimmer connection into the pool (depending on gunite procedure) if left with heavy shifted concrete slab to remain.

The skimmer itself is in fair condition. It is missing; it’s skimmer weir , and skimmer float valve.

The main drain is in fair condition as well as the spas main drain should both be removed and replaced with new VGBA covers (x2) for safety until the main drains both can be upgraded for safety into a dual drain not cabable of someone becoming entrapped ($500 each).

The bottom cleaner is in fair condition. I recommend repairs on cleaner approx cost of $105; tail sponge, tail, hose, wheels.

However if the booster pump is removed, then this bottom cleaner can be swapped out for a Polaris 360 ($450).

Replacement light can costs $475, Or consider upgrading to LED light cans at $985 each.

Replacement light can costs $475, Or consider upgrading to LED light cans at $985 each.

The filter appears to be in ideal pressure ranges indicating that the filter elements have been recently cleaned. However after speaking with the home owner he feels the cartridges are at the end of their life cycle and should be replaced soon for best water quality ($250-350).

I would recommend replacing this filter with a

1. new sand filter ($775 small capacity [Pentair SD-60, $875 SD-80 (Ideal) with variable speed - Pentair TR-140] $1475 large capacity) after phosphate treatments are complete for ease of use and overall lowest cost of ownership.

This pump is older and in poor to fair physical condition. 1 - 1.65 hp pump = $100-125/mo in electricity.

The alternative is to remove the current pump and install a variable speed pump ( benefits include =$15-45/mo in electricity) (**$1325 Pentair SuperfloVS**-1675) Pentair IntelliPRO and motor to reduce overall plumbing stress due to low piping size.

Bottom cleaner pump is in poor condition. Costing 25-85$/mo in electricity.

Recommend removing this pump and replacing this with a 3 way valve and plumbing ($575) to allow return style bottom cleaning.

This spa jet pump is leaking from the shaft seal. Due to age of pump recommend variable speed motor replacement ($555) or a variable speed pump ($1325+) Repairs to correct this shaft seal $275 est.

A replacement blower would cost $575. Recommend replacement.

Non tested, working heater.

The timer board is in poor condition, missing protective shield from electrical ($55).

[Major Issue] The pool light and spa light are not on a GFI / GFCI Breaker and should be upgraded for safety. This is a major issue and should be resolved ASAP before next use.

Note to upgrade this system to an automated wifi capable system ($1575 4 Channel Pentair Easy Touch Lite - $2575 Pentair IntelliTouch 8 Channel).

The plumbing and valving connections are in poor condition and should be removed, replaced, condensed, and updated; valving, check valves, and large plumbing ($1075 for exact replacement -2075 for upgraded valving and piping (size and quality).
