Inside the skimmer corners, I do see some signs of eventual water loss issue. This could likely be re sealed in the next one to 10 years ($100+).

The rock waterfall does show signs of recent mortar edition. But I still feel the waterfall could be re-waterproof also in the next one to 10 years ($1000+).

Overall Details

The valving is all like new and in ideal working condition. For unknown reason, the skimmer was the only suction piping turned on at the time of inspection, I did decide to open the main drain up to assist with proper water circulation.

We do have a valve allowing the bottom cleaner and or the pool returns to have water flow.

Recommend covering from UV asap ($50+).



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.
