Additional Tile Notes

Like new without issue waterline tile.

The concrete coping border around the pool has some areas that should be grinded down / filled in with mastic to avoid trip hazard / injury hazard during use ($1500+). This may include removing the hand rails exiting the pool that would constitute a trip hazard especially at night with no lights present.

Also note that the concrete has had some decrative flakes added to the surface and may require another sealant layer to hold these pieces onto the surface as intended. It appears to be flaking off quickly and this is likely not the idea during installation ($750+).

Board & Timer Additional Notes

There is no timer installed instead just a power supply shut off that supplies power to a variable speed pump that is typically used for an air conditioning unit. The pump has a built in timer on board.

I would recommend installing an appropriate Siemens variable speed breaker + sub panel box to this pump for safety ($500+).

The GFCI plug breaker is present on the wall of the home.

Overall Details

Valving and plumbing is near new , uv painted, just recommend minor labeling service to designate functions ($100).



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, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
