Pool Surface Additional Notes

There is some modeling consistent with a salt pool that is 2 - 4 years old.

There are also some rust stains throughout the pool surface that could be removed via a stain treatment or several direct treatments using vitamin c ($125 - 350).

Additional Tile Notes

Very light calcium build up that can be removed via pumice stone now or in 6 month - 5 years via a bead blasting service ($500). There is 20lf of natural stone. This water line natural stone will need re mortar in 7 - 10 years from now.

Water Quality Condition: Good $85

6.8 - 7.2 (Ideal) 20 + (Extremely High, Do Not Swim) 20 + (Extremely High, Do Not Swim) 20 - 50 (Low) 0 - 20 (Very Low) 650+ (High)
pH Level Details Free Chlorine Details Total Chlorine Details Cyanuric Acid Details Alkalinity Notes Calcium Notes
Algae present? Foliage found in water? Water loss present?
0 Yes - Recommend Phosphate Treatment No
Additional Water Quality Notes

While the cyanuric acid is low, the calcium hardness is high indicating no water loss is present. By re checking these results in 30 days we can confirm if water loss is or is not present.

I do not believe there is a leak, and cyanuric acid low / chlorine too high / ph too low are the only items needing to adjust at this time, all can be adjusted for approx $100 or over the next 1 - 2 weeks naturally (chlorine & ph, cyanuric will need chemicals to add).

Autofill #1 Autofill #2
Pool Auto-Fill Spa Auto-Fill Auto-Fill Style Fill Speed
Yes No Float Slow
Auto-Fill Additional Notes

The auto fill head appears to have water flow coming from the corner of the head. This may be able to be resolved using teflon tape correctly via a service call ($125), however if the head is split on the auto fill can, then we may need to have the entire can re done ($2500); To be determined.

Additionally the auto fill shut off valve is not secured to the home or to the ground, recommend attaching one or the other for safety to this unit to avoid damage ($125).

The salt cell is not powering on at this time in service / time out mode - it may need to be just connected on the pool equipment panel differently, as it does appear to be connected however maybe the programming needs to enable it.

Otherwise during regular service the salt cell is operating correctly.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Good$

Overall Details

Overall all working valving and ideal working condition.


Younger than 7 years, does not require service at this time.
Yes, the equipment pad is UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
Condition
Damaged (Needs Attention)		 Notes

{Return} Bottom Cleaner Actuator is in working condition. However, when ran on auto and service mode(s) the actuator closes completely and allows full flow to the cleaner; when in low speed this is fine and ideal, however when ran higher than 1800 rpm, this function becomes less ideal and not safe for the pool; either plumb in a bypass or change actuator position , both require a high level service call $125 - 225 or simply adjust priming speed / max speed to not exceed 2100 rpm.
Condition
Great		 Notes

Union to Salt Chlorination , that can be swapped out for a spacer unit ($76) to pro long life of salt cell.

Waterfall actuators are in good working condition.
