Additional Tile Notes

Because of the high water level in the spa / overspill due to high blower speeds, the spa is seeing significant water seeping through and leaving calcium deposits around the spa. Additionally the spa spillover has the most calcium formations / fischers - likely due to under sealed spillover stone. Recommend attention to sealing these areas to prevent continued damage and calcium build up + blower modifications as described.

Last I am seeing the beginnings of calcium formations on the sheer descents 2-5 feet around them + spa. Recommend attention / sealing ($1000+).

To remove the calcium surface layer expect a cost of $550+ to remove.

There are two bottom cleaners in the pool one is a robot and the other is a connected cleaner. The connected cleaner has a too long hose therefore a minor trim ($50) will make it likely improve functionality of this cleaner.

The other robot cleaner looks near new and in ideal working condition.

Auxiliary Pump A Additional Notes

This blower / pump functions a little too well (oversized for the application) and if turned on first vs spa jets and THEN blower you will have substantial blow over + water loss occur around the spa - which may require a purge valve added as even when the jets are on with the blower it’s a little too much action ($400+).

Overall Details

I saw 4 locations of an unusual burning on the plastic fittings. I feel it may be caused by reflected light from the neighbors window (potentially - that or a blow torch directly to these areas !). Odd because otherwise this pad is in ideal condition. Due to locations of issues some repairs would be costly due to tight connections and sections would have to be redone. Recommend doing such before these become brittle , split, and fail.

Recommend covering this pad from UV asap ($100) via a UV mesh.


Newer than 7 years old and does not require service at this time.
No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment
