In the deep end there is a noticeable white calcium like formations present on surface likely due to adding salt / chlorine / or chemicals on top and having it sit for a period of time.

Potentially in the shallow end on the north side of the step, there likely will be some need to fix the surface around the rock at a later, not currently.

Both skimmers need new baskets, floats, and float O-rings ($300). Also, both skimmers have a very small separation on the collar to the skimmer. This is important to know because you’ll need to lower the water level down slightly to make sure this doesn’t become a water loss issue during use.

Waterfall Pump Additional Notes

Waterfall pump is technically in working condition. However the pump is leaking in several locations including from a seal plate, and or shaft seal, which will likely require major service to resolve ($500+). A better move here would be to remove the waterfall pump completely and then turn plumb in a valve to allow it single filter pump to operate both the filtration and the waterfall function of the pool. This can also be coupled with automation to allow this to function with a phone or remote.
