Pool Surface Notes
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface of the pool is painted.

Throughout the entire surface, there is calcium Fisher’s present. This is generally an indicator of a wet subsoil / waterloss potential.

There is a larger calcium Fishers near the deep end main drain cover.

Overall, I would not anticipate the painted surface to last much longer therefore recommend removing and resurfacing likely sooner than later / in the next one to two years ($9-12k+).

The main drain cover is due to be updated ($88). The pool drain itself is also non VGBA compliant and will likely not pass city inspections unless updated to complaint type. Recommend performing during replaster for best value.

Cleaner #1 Cleaner #2
Bottom Cleaner Brand Bottom Cleaner Model
Polaris
Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

No bottom cleaner present but a Polaris 280/380 would work well ($600) or Polaris 3900 at $900.

Note for simplicity a suction side cleaner would likely result in a cleaner pool overall, and would then require only one pump vs current two pumps.
