Pool Surface Notes
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface has calcium fishers present throughout the entire pool from the shallow end to the deep end walls. More than 100 fishers and Fischer calcium nodules + cracks. Generally Indicating that the surface is having a heavily saturated subsoil, so beware during drain, but depending on if these Fishers lose water or not determines when the surface is due for replacement. Keeping the pH lower, same with the alkalinity will help minimize the fisher growth and may potentially minimize some of the fishers. Also Install proper soil/main drain static relief valve during re plaster stage may also assist. Still while the fishers are not the best looking, are potentially just a Cosmetic blemish at this time / for now depending on water loss status and issue progression.

The top step of the spa is nearing a failure point soon (1-5 years). When the step fails expect a cost of approx $1k to re plaster that step.

The age of the surface is approx 7 years old.

Additional Tile Notes

The tile throughout the pool and spa is in fair condition, the only area of concern is the spa spillover in the spillover corners will need some new mortar soon, and likely the skimmer throat ($500+) to prevent water loss through these areas asap.

There is some calcium build up present throughout and if desired the cost is likely $650-750.

There appears to be some minor water loss present, and seen on the equipment pad, otherwise ideal chemistry. By re checking chemistry in 1 - 30 days can confirm status.

Note algae is present and should be treated to remove ($100-250+). Also note the cya levels are nearly at their maximum indicating a 1/4 drain may be needed soon.
