Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface appears to be between seven and 15 years old with a thin layer of mottling presents on the surface, giving it a whiter hue.

And some locations mostly in the deep end I am seeing where a 3 inch chlorine tablets sat on the surface for a prolonged period of time, and essentially wore through the mottling and expose the lower base color of the surface (dark grey) in more than one location.

Overall the surface appears to have some scratches present on it, likely from the bottom cleaner losing its wheel, but overall the surface does appear to be in expected condition for its age, without any major abnormalities.

Typically plaster last up to 30 years, if well-maintained therefore the surface appears to be halfway through its lifecycle.

Special note that there is approximately 20-50% coverage of landscape debris on the surface.
