The tile appears to be heavily calcified - missing tiles in the skimmer - needs waterproofing attention around the fill jet ($2000+ to repair and remove calcium).

The concrete decking around the pool is un even and settling oddly especially in the north side of the pool and in some areas will need to be grinded down for safety / trip hazards ($1k+).

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The skimmer has some gunite ? Build up present on the throat. It may also be water proofing, but likely gunite. This should be removed to confirm ($125) ideally by lowering water level and using acid.

Also the skimmer has all parts present.

Recommend updating the one main drain cover for safety as it is older ($100) and not compliant.

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Damaged, unit is in distressed shape and will need more than $250 in repair items currently, consider replacement options ($405-655+). $650

Filter Notes
Filter Additional Notes

The filter is older. Sun beaten. Pressure gauge is bad, and drain plug is leaking, unions are leaking, elements are also due to be updated ($350+) and service to this filter ($200+) is required to help resolve leak issues. Note due to age and condition of this filter, I feel it would be a wiser option to replace the entire filter ($750+ - 3200).

Booster Pump #1 Booster Pump #2
Booster Pump Brand Booster Pump Model Horsepower
Hayward 1.5” Plumbing / 3/4 hp ≤ 0.99HP
Booster Pump Additional Notes

This solar booster pump is older and cannot be tested due to manual shut off of solar - but I would bet that this pump is leaking at its seals and a replacement pump will be required to resolve solar operation ($1250-2800).

Board & Timer Additional Notes

Older, overpowered breakers, recommend updating for safety to GFCI variable speed breakers and pool light breakers ($350+). Also recommend adding a water bond ($300+).

Auxiliary Timer Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention) $3100

Auxiliary Timer #1 Auxiliary Timer #2
Auxiliary Timer Additional Notes

The controller is nearly expired. Its switch is hanging on by a thread - display shows errors on all sensors; water & solar ($300) and likely due for updates to allow solar to function + missing actuator ? ($300).

Still the panel does turn on the solar booster pump but the solar is manually shut off so it was not fully tested likely due to leaks on the solar collector grids ($500-2500+).

Salt Control Systems Condition: N/A$

Salt Control #1 Salt Control #2

Valves & Fittings Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention)$1800

Overall Details

The Plumbing present is all older and very well sun beaten. There are 3x non serviceable check valves, 2x three-way valves, and 2x 2 way valves I would recommend service to the valves ($750) and paint and labeling ($200). But a wiser choice would be just cutting out and starting fresh due to age and condition ($1800+).


Due for maintenance, medium equipment pad, Required every 10-15 years, all valving must be opened, cleaned, lubricated, and re sealed to ensure longevity of equipment.
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.
