Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface appears to be in fair to poor condition overall with some wear points present. It is likely these deep wear points will need to be fixed and potentially sealed ($500).

Also I am seeing where the gel coat is sloughing off, especially on the walls. It is likely the surfaces on the last 5-25% of its life cycle. A re gel coating may be an expected service soon ($?).

I am seeing signs that the pool is settling in the north east corner, which will put a strain on the shell itself, it may be likely that this area may need to be excavated and “jacked” with material to fill in any voids to prolong the life / health of the shell. This service may cost $500-1500+ and + it also could be the deck itself is settling down and pulling this area down with it as well if the decking it attached to the shell (which it appears to potentially be).

Also note, I am seeing some copper stains present likely from metal material falling on the bottom of the pool. This may be able to be removed using a chemical ($100) otherwise this is expected with use.

No tile present.

The decking is showing signs of issue; bowing throughout the entire decking area. In some locations the decking is pulling away from the pools' shell. This is creating a trip / hazard. In the south west section especially there is a particularly deep indentation / trip hazard, recommend attention.

The water quality is out of alignment recommend modifications ($200+) that will include more Chlorine as well as more cyanuric Acid and after addition make sure to recheck the water chemistry in one to 30 days to confirm if water loss is present.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The skimmer has an older seal around the opening, and will likely need a new seal service soon ($250+).

The skimmer itself may be potentially compromised with this decking, bowing and warping difficult to determine at this point, but the skimmer itself is a delicate device and movement is not ideal especially if the boards are sitting right on top of it, that’s putting all the weight of the boards on the relatively thin plastic skimmer (which it appears to be potentially doing).

The main drain cover in the pool should be updated every seven years. It appears this is older than seven years ($100).

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Poor $300

Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

This bottom cleaner is no longer functioning and due for service but it is a C- level bottom cleaner versus the far superior “ the pool cleaner 2 wheel” unit approx $400 + an in line leaf basket $100 for the most superior set up.

Once this unit begins to fail, recommend just simply upgrading to that other unit at last decades longer vs updating this machine with a rebuild kit ($250) every 1-5 years depending on use.

Most likely the upgrade to this would be a single LED light connected to a low-voltage junction box ($1000 or less).

Currently, this light does work and function however, it will likely need to be service to clean material away from the mirror which will increase the brightness of this light ($350).

The filter is running at five psi - and it does appear to have a small leak from its tank seal - I am also seeing housing, cracked and splitting from overpressure for prolonged periods of time and leaking unions. It is likely that a new filter is the best method of resolution here. $750-2850.

The pump is leaking from its return possible pump housing. It’s also leaking at its suction. Due to these issues AND age and condition it may be likely the entire pump including housing Will need to be updated ($1250+-2800).
