Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile is mostly used for decoration. There are some tiles missing / present that likely will need new mortar in between to ensure they do not fall off (if this is the issue, some algae presence may be giving the illusion that it is missing grout). There are approximately 25+ or more tiles that are in this condition. If it is an issue this fixed expect a cost of approx $750+.

There are also tiles in laid into the surface, mostly found on the steps. These are showing signs of wear, and likely will need to be re-applied, and or repaired ($750+).

The connection between the skimmer, and the service is showing a gap present. This may not affect the waterproofing of this surface as it is likely that the skimmer is overlaid on top of the shell therefore likely cosmetic only, still should be addressed ($300).

There is algae present mostly seen between the tiles. This should be corrected via water treatments ($250+).

The skimmer inside has a leak repair performed to it. This appears to be more than one to five years old. If redone temporarily - expect a cost of $450. If corrected, correctly expect a cost of $2500+.

There is no main drain present.

The bottom cleaner does not appear to be operational at this time, likely due to the tracks present in compromise. This can be updated For approx $205. But a better choice is “the pool cleaner 4 wheel” ($450) + in line leaf basket ($100) is a far superior option.

This particular filter is known for having issues with its tank band. It is currently leaking from its tank O-ring in likely will need a new tank, O-ring, and order a new band ($400). There’s also potentially likely that the elements inside of the filter are due for replacement if it hasn’t been done in the last 2 to 5 years ($450).

The salt system appears to no longer be operational at this time. If that is the case, recommend updating the salt control unit and salt cell ($1750+). Or use UV + Ozone (Del AOP 25) for a MUCH better sanitation option.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Fair - Working Condition$350

Overall Details

The Valving present is all in working condition, without leaks at this time.

The seller informed me that the solar on the roof has a few minor leaks, and therefore was not tested at the time of inspection but rest assured that a water solar array on a roof is typically $150+ per panel to update & repair and junction parts is also $150+ per junction + labor.



Yes, the equipment pad does have a thinning layer of UV protectant paint, and it is due to be re-painted and / or have a UV shade device ($50+) placed over the top / sides of equipment pad to help ensure long PVC piping life AS WELL AS 2x+ or more equipment life.

When the pump is shut off, it appears a considerable amount of water goes back into the pool. This would be corrected by adding a check valve on the suction side of the pump ($350+).

The waterfalls were ran for approximately 10 to 20 minutes and some water seepage may be found on the backside of the wall. This can be shored up with service via waterproofing around waterfalls likely covered in tile sections estimates.
