The border fencing between the pool and home is corroded and nearly failed. Recommend updating for safety ($1500-2500+).

The surface appears to be relatively new, even though there are significant blemishes present throughout and heavy wear markings (mostly mid and deep ends) not typically seen on a pool surface that is under seven years old. Generally, whenever there are issues such as this at such an early age of plaster life Indicate that Plaster failure may occur much sooner than anticipated which typically Plaster will last 15 to 30 years. The surface appears to me to be approximately five years to seven years old. And I do feel that the plaster surface may only have another 12 to 96 months remaining before replastering may be required ($10-15k).

I am seeing calcium fishers, especially on the south / south west portion of the pool.

On the Deep end entry steps The fiberglass is flaking off of the steps themselves, indicating the steps are nearing failure. Plaster will be recommended to replace these steps ($1000).

On the north section of the pool as well as some of the east and south east sections we are seeing loose tiles and missing tiles. In the same areas, as we are also seeing gaps, forming between the coping and the tile. It is likely that the coping tile and bond beam around the entire pool will be required to be redone and waterproofed ($5-10k+).

Water quality indicates that the chlorine level is very very high as well as the CYA levels. Expect a cost of $100 or less to properly balance these levels.

Once the pool chemistry is balanced, especially chlorine levels. We will likely see organic matter and algae present, which will likely require removal using algae removal chemicals ($250+).

The skimmer has recently been reset in concrete with an older skimmer Approximately 20 years old. It has PVC connections. The inside of the skimmer throat has older tile. I will likely need to be re-adhered / sealed to the skimmer plastic throat soon and or during re-tiling work ($500-$1000).

There is no main drain present. At re-Plaster recommend installing one $2 - 5k. It is very essential to ideal pool operation.

Additionally, when deciding to re-plaster the surface, it may be wise to add an additional section line separate from the skimmer to allow a more ideal flow on the section side of the pool. Similarly, the return lines could also be added up to four if not more than four at the same time for the best value ($5-10k). These two factors greatly affect the amount of algae that is present or chemicals that are used - And can essentially pay for themselves over the course of a lifetime use of this pool.

Note that the skimmer float has not been installed in this pool and is in the pool equipment room, which may be because the main drain is no longer being used. Still recommend a new skimmer basket waited as well as a weir door and skimmer lid ($300+).

There is a plug-in robot style bottom cleaner in the equipment room that is in very distressed shape and likely is not in functioning condition. A new like unit will cost approximately $1500.

There is a manual fill line in the equipment room to the north and it is in working condition Older, but without issue. It is nearing due to do a simple servicing to the valve itself and flow check valve on the unit ($20).

The pool light does not turn on and does not have an official junction box. Recommend inspecting the existing junction cover to confirm the light is not split or modified and runs continuously to the Pool equipment room, which would be 12 inches above the waterline ($250+). Also a replacement light can installed within incandescent is approximately $1000

This filter is in distressed condition. The tank band is heavily corroded and likely no longer fit for use. Additionally, the filter itself appears to have been installed out outdoors and installed here under used conditions. My recommendation to not apply any money into this filter and instead simply replace it with a new filter between $500 up to $2800 on which filter you desire. A ta 100 d Pentiar is approx $1750 installed and that would be my recommendation for best use.

The filter pump is in near new condition. It has been programmed to 2000 RPMs from 7:30 AM to 8 PM every day. It may be ideal to install a suction side check valve on this installation if desired, But it only has one inch and a half suction line that has been converted to 2 inches Therefore, we are only able to achieve 30 to 50 gallons per minute and that would likely mean that 2000 may it’s technical maximum.

There does not appear to be a bonding wire present, likely due to the fact that the pool shell itself is older than 40 years, But ideally one should be installed something that could supplement that (temporarily) would be a water bond instead ($400).

The timer is in like new condition times two. There is one timer located next to the filter pump area, and there is a second timer that I would assume is connected to the pool lights But since the light is not turning on, this cannot be determined at this time.

The panel is all Older breakers non-GFCI and therefore needs to be updated for safety ($750+).

There is no valving present instead three unions and one and a half inch plumbing mostly. There’s also also a drain valve on the filter. This all could be updated if desired, but at this time it would only be preferential versus required - recommend servicing to the unions As currently one of them is leaking and will need service soon ($250+).
