The pool surface has several scratches present found mostly in the main pool. There appears to be one crack present near the skimmer on the north east side of the pool that is likely structural and will require repair that may range between 2 to 5000 to repair correctly. Note that this repair will not be a color match and instead will be noticeable as plaster cannot be color matched after initial application.

There is considerable leaf debris in the pool currently covering approximately 5 to 10% of the surface. Still, I can see scratches present throughout the pool, found mostly in the deep end.

Note: Usually scratches are simply cosmetic and not related to any on going issue.

The surface appears to be approximately 7 to 15 years old. I would side closer to 7-10.

The waterline tile in the pool appears to be in fair condition overall. There is a light / medium calcium buildup present that likely can be removed with service ($550).

The spa spill over area also appears to be compromised with signs of water loss occurring through the tiles and compromised locations, this will need to be opened and repaired ($1-3k). Also note, since it recently rained, it does make it difficult to confirm if there are additional issues around the spa raised portions, This area can be rechecked, upon re visit, if desired at no additional cost.

The flat stonework around the raised spa has some areas of mortar compromised mostly on the south west and west side I can just simply be refilled in with new mortar soon ($500+).

The raised waterfall has many leaks present on the backside, it is likely that the leaks aren’t only caused by mortar ($1-3k) but potentially a plumbing leak inside ($2-4k). Therefore recommend confirming if the plumbing is the issue first then repair the mortar.

The water quality is indicating heavy leaf debris organic matter. Presents noticed specifically around the pool lights at the early spring, which would be March 1 recommend treating the pool to help eliminate organic matter present to allow a low chlorine summer.

Note we offer weekly service and can bring this pool back to balanced.

The The main drain covers in the pool are due to be updated for safety. There are four of them. And there are three in the spa that are due to be updated for safety. ($500).

The skimmer needs a new float and float O-ring as well as basket and weir door ($500).

There is a robot cleaner present. Although note, this was initially designed for a return style, bottom cleaner like the pliers 360, but because of the heavy leaf debris present, it is wise to consider an alternate form of bottom cleaning i.e. a booster pump, powered bottom cleaner / robot ($1200-2000+).

The auto fill appears to be in working condition, but recommend minor servicing to confirm ($125-250). Servicing will include cleaning out the canister and confirming water level is correct.

Both Pool lights appear to have water present inside the light lens and therefore will require replacement for safety. A new pool light can is approximately $600 new x 2 + install ($450).

The spa light appears to be newer and has less than 5-20% condensation inside the light lens. Still in the next 1 to 5 years recommend replacement for safety ($550 light can + install ($350).

The filter pressure gauge is no longer working correctly and will need to be replaced ($20) to confirm accurate pressure reading. Additionally, it is likely that the elements inside the filter are due for service ($125) and potential element replacement, if older than 1 to 2 years ($400). Recommend performing service to confirm.

The filter pump is a very high horsepower pump, which will use extra energy that is not needed. Additionally, it does appear that the pump lid O-ring is due for service, the suction, side suction port, and the return port as well ($500). Otherwise, this pump is in working condition.

Alternatively, a more energy efficient pump would be considered the Pentair I 3 variable speed pump

The single speed pump is 1.5 hp and is in working condition.

The heater does function, which was in question upon initial visual inspection, appeared to have existing issues present, which include a compromised heating chamber (rust / white calcification / salt outside plumbing vents) and a compromised shell (rust on base of heater). Because this is in a salt environment, it is likely that the salt has corroded this heater internally at one time, causing it to likely be nearing expiration regardless of previous repairs, Which would likely occur in the next 1 to 5 years or less. The cost of a new heater like this installed is $4800. Additionally, recommend painting the gas line to protect from corrosion ($10).

I know it would be wise to allow this heater to fully heat the spa to confirm if it is in full working condition, I did allow the heater to operate for 15 to 25 minutes but it would likely take approximately one hour to fully heat the spa. I would offer this service at no additional charge, if desiring me to return to test.

The board and timer are in working condition. The GFCI appears to no longer be functioning correctly, as it is not resetting. Recommend updating soon for safety $125+.

Note this outdoor controller uses a remote that is required for programming.

In general in the future is upgrading to a variable speed pump, recommend installing variable speed breakers ($125+).

The salt system cannot be fully tested (N/A) when water temperatures are below 65°. But the salt reading is saying 500 ppm of salt, indicating a low level of salt / possibly due to water loss or mass water addition, And all other aspects of the system indicate the salt system is fully functioning, including a relatively new salt cell less than one year old. Salt cells typically last up to seven years.

To add appropriate levels of salt 10-12 bags ($200) and re test when water is warm.

The plumbing / actuator controls / cleaner bypass has been modified outside it original design. This can easily be corrected with programming and service as described below (section 3).

Additionally the plumbing is due to be painted relabeled and covered from UV ($300+).
