Pool Surface Notes
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is mostly made of Gunite, as this is considered a natural designs pool. The installer claims to use a proprietary mix of Gunite that allows it to be waterproof instead of Plaster, as a typical waterproof agent.

There are several locations where issues are present on the gunite surface found mostly in the spa raised area, and in the shallow end north east area of the pool.

If the surface is compromised In a given location a mortar repair would be likely at approx $500 per issue. There are more than one issue seen in the spa. Pictured. There are several issues found at the water line in the deep end of the pool especially around the skimmer and east entry. I would safety estimate approx $5000 to repair all seen issues present, but more may develop and even more issues may be present, recommend additional service ($350) to determine if areas of issue are leaking.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water indicates some issues are present with the water chemistry. It is likely that there may be some water loss present due to the low calcium hardness and low cyanuric acid levels.

Recommend balance ($200) and re checking chemistry in 1-30 days.
