The fencing will need very minor repair, to tighten the spring to allow the gate to self clothes and self latch ($125).

The surface upon initial look, appears to be the new micro glass pebble sheen surface, but that is only because of a stain that is present; likely a copper or metal stain due to the metal heat exchanger (of the heater) has failed and then coated the entire surface
with that metal giving the surface here a beautiful unique blue hue. (I have to be honest and say that upon initially walking into the backyard, I couldn’t believe how beautiful the surface looked, and it was only upon very very close investigation, that I noticed that the surface color can be linked to a metal contaminant in the water likely from a heater core) This type of issue is rare but is generally caused by super over chlorinating the pool for A period of time.

It is likely the surface is a light blue / sand / brown color underneath, as there are approximately 1 to 5% of the pool un colored (you almost can’t tell).

It may be possible to remove this discoloration with an Acid Wash ($750+), but that service will shorten the life expectancy of the surface and at this time I do not recommend that unless other issues develop as a result of the excess metals present on the surface of the pool.

Surface age is 4-5 years old. Typical life of plaster (pebble) is up to 30 years.

In between the tiles, the mortar has been discolored into a yellowed Brown, and some speckles of blue, which, similar to the surface is caused by metal contaminants, entering the body of water, likely after high exposures to high levels of chlorine. It may be possible that the tile can be cleaned for approx $950+.

The chlorine levels in the pool are low especially the free chlorine and the pH and alkalinity are also very low, as well as the cyanuric acid. Recommend modifications asap ($100+).

There are two main drains in the spa and two in the pool all four covers are VGBA compliant. It is funny how the covers in the spa are different because they ran out of room on the west facing cover. NOTE that depending on how they plumbed this spa it is not VGBA compliant with the filter pump and jet pump present due to the piping size. It would be my recommendation to test the flow rate present when both pumps are running to confirm this is the case (Flow test $245).

The skimmer has had a heavy chlorine effect on the float, and therefore the float should be updated ($50).

The bottom cleaner is missing a wheel mount screw causing the unit to stick to one corner and no longer move freely - this if left unattended for more than 30 minutes will begin to damage the plaster as we are stating to see now. Recommend service to this unit (+/-$150) to address this issue and confirm if the internals of the bottom cleaner are also compromised (due to high chlorine levels / metals) note that the unit is due for a new tail and tires.

Working condition without issue. Needs to be lowered down so spa can be used ($10).

There is medal standing present on the light lens rim it is likely translated behind the pool light as well. Recommend cleaning / inspecting behind the light to confirm light condition status ($125).

There is medal standing present on the light lens rim it is likely translated behind the spa light as well. Recommend cleaning / inspecting behind the light to confirm light condition status ($125).

The filter is in working condition however the elements are due to be updated. Recommend confirming with the seller if the filters internal elements have been updated in the past 5 years and if not recommend updating these, along with a new tank o ring etc ($700).

Filter pump has sounds that indicate that the shaft seal / motor / drive is damaged. Estimated remaining life is 12-48+ months ($2800+ for replacement of new version) as this pump while typically bullet proof is likely rotting of inside due to the same issues as the surface (metal contamination).

This booster pump is in working condition without any issues seen at this time.

Wildest pump is visually near new, it does have a leaking return union o ring leaking - recommend service ($150+) to confirm if repair is service only needed.

The heater is turning on and operating, however, judging by the surface in the pool and spa AND the amount of rust present on the lower bolts the heating element is likely compromised and will require repair (replace the internal heat exchanger) to bring back to working condition ($1700) or a new same model heater installed at $4800.

Note, I did take a deeper look at the heater, and I did find all the heating chamber bolts. We’re all rusted and likely have less than a year remaining life left before it will begin to leak only out of the chamber lid. The lower chamber may take longer to leak, but still repairs will be required ($1700+).

The breakers to the filter pump and the jet pump are GFCI, which is ideal, however the main breaker is likely undersized for the application and could be upgraded / confirm wire size / amp draw is appropriate. Currently I’m calculating less than 5-10% of maximum. Which is not ideal. Recommend checking this under high demand ($125) and updating as needed if needed.

Note that this pool is equipped with ScreenLogic, which requires a white box to be left at the property as this white box that is normally connected to the Internet modem cannot be used anywhere else, except for this antenna to prevent theft of either. Recommend confirming the seller is giving the white box in the almond color antenna with it. They are both approximately the size of a human hand and one is a white Box and one is an almond rectangle.

This salt cell is nearing the end of its life cycle ($950+). Recommend attention to this in the next 1 to 24 months.

To help prolong the lifecycle of the salt cell recommend removing during the 6 to 8 winter months and install a spacer cell or commonly referred to as a dummy cell ($50) to essentially double the life expectancy of the salt cell generally getting up to seven years of life.

Note that this salt cell is currently 5 to 6 years old and may have 1 to 24 months of life left.

The Valving present is all in working condition with no leaks present. Recommend service to the valves and the next one to five years ($750+).

I would recommend painting labeling ($250) and covering this equipment pad from UV using a simple UV mesh that can be found on Amazon for $50.
