The overflow is showing signs of failure = missing grout / mortar. These areas will need attention and re water proofing asap ($2-4k+).

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

There are four main drain covers in the pool two are main drains One is for the waterfall intake and one is for the skimmer equalizer line. All four should be updated for safety ($100x4) Note the waterfall intake is high flow for one drain not safety rated - damaged if used in current state. There are three main drains in the lower basin and one leaf canister intake. All four covers should be updated for safety ($100 x 4).

Note all covers in the pool are showing signs of high chlorine levels. Another reason updating is important.

Jandy HhpPlus 1.50HP - 2.00HP
Waterfall Pump Additional Notes

This pump is in working condition however it has been over stressed for a period of time, including now during the inspection. This pump is 100% return loaded with a dirty filter / element on the return of this lower basin fill / waterfall pump.

Service to this pump lid o ring will likely restore poor working status ($125+)

My recommendation is to remove this cartridge filter causing so much blockage here unless you want a secondary filter - filtration.

Also this pump is older and nearing expiration in 1-10 years.

Spa Jet Pump -

Minor Pump Lid o ring service ($125) + investigation = it appears the seal plate may be leaking during use recommend service to resolve ($450+) but may be caused by a warped older pump and therefore replacement may be required ($1500+).

The pump is older and nearing expiration in 1-10 years.
