There is no safety railing around the pool or spa ($1k+). VERY Highly recommend attention around the spa due to height difference of more than 10 feet, and a railing minimum down the steps ($1k+).

The surface is too shallow in the shallow end for safe use. I cannot begin to imagine how this build was passed by a local city inspector = The difference in height between the spa spill over and the closest shallow end is a VERY dangerous situation.

The spa surface is new, seemingly a new surface was done as a low cost quick fix concept vs doing the right complete job that wouldn’t require auxiliary low quality patches (different color putty patches seen on spa entry level steps). Still, the spa surface is new, still with older mortar between rock and low quality putty patches = I have little faith in this spa being “water tight” now or in the near future (again = hence the low quality patches seen).

The pool surface is older than 15-25 years. A blemish repair (likely rebar related) occurred where there is a turtle mosaic currently.

The deep end of the pool is difficult to be seen approx 10-50% clarity.

The pool and spa have rock used as a waterline. This type of rock tends to allow water to permeate through and draw water loss, still, the mortar used is also another point of likely or eventual waterloss if of degrading quality. Therefore it would be wise to consider budgeting for water line re mortaring ($2-5k+) when it becomes apparent waterloss is present (likely as early as now).

Additionally having the rock as step tiles is also less than ideal and may be due for updates / at replaster stage ($1k+) if water loss is occurring in these locations, which it likely is now.

The water line is rock with mortar described in surface section.

The decking is also the same rock.

The water falls are rock of two types.

There are many sections of the decking where mortar is missing and due for service which includes the decking, waterline rock, rock waterfalls, and most of issue; spa to pool spillover with missing grout present ($1-20k+).

No chlorine, higher ph, low level of cya (water loss / new water is present).

Recommend immediate addition of chemicals asap ($200-450+). $200 Now and another $250 in the next 30 days.

The main drain in the pool are likely due for updating due to age for safety (6x $100). Spa main drains appear less than 7 years old.

The skimmers in the pool are older, some signs of chemical abuse, and are due for service ; new floats , float o ring , weir door, weighted basket ($800). Additionally the skimmer in the spa has some type of apparatus on it likely being used to either check water or block flow, recommend service to confirm if issue is present ($200+).

There is no bottom cleaner present ($650+) due to the difficulty in elevation. A robot cleaner may be a wiser choice here due to the challenges present.

The pool autofill does not appears to be working, or on ? this is likely an issue and will require service to resolve ($250+)

Water is present inside the light lens on both pool lights. They are both older halogen x 2. Like Replacement lights (Pentair 5g LED) cost $1100 + install $400 x 2.

The spa light is no longer turning on ? Likely faulty light, recommend updating for safety with like light ($1500+).

Clean and Clear Plus 420 upper (poor / damaged condition ) and 520 lower (like new condition). The third spa filter, is not connected and cannot be tested correctly, likely replacement will be required ($1250).

This upper filter is leaking from its union and manifold and tank O-ring -‘d will likely need service or include a new tank o ring + new elements ($750+).

The upper filter pump is operational with a 2 out of 4 in vibration. 1HP pumping 15 psi. The pump is in fair to poor condition due to two main factors = suction side (10 foot lift) stress and return side stress ( dirty filter).

The cost to update / service this vibrating motor ($750-1250+).

This lower filter pump is no longer operating , and a replacement pump is approx $1250-2500+ installed.

Leaking during use, older, nearly expired likely due for service ($500+) and or replacement soon ($750-2500+).

This pump is older / damaged leaking condition. Bearings are nearly expired. Repairs likely would run $1000+ or replacement up to $2500 installed.

This pump runs the lowest large waterfall.

Working, is not able to catch prime, but sounds the least damaged of all the pumps and therefore may be the newest ? Still this pump is older and in poor condition leaking from its suction ports / drain plug. Recommend service ($200-750+) and likely a new check valve to assist in allowing this pump to stay primed ($300+).

Dual blower pumps smell of electrical burning when in use. It is likely both are due for updates soon ($500 each + install $300 x 2)

The heater is no longer working / plumbed in. A new like heater (400k btu) is approx $4800+ installed.

The panel is in damaged / partially operational condition.

Two yellow dial timers.

Some of the pumps are activated via switches 7 feet above the equipment pad and this panel.

The panel has been hotwired to allow the lights to function on non gfci breakers.

This panel is also due for a new terminal cover x1 , updated breakers , including GFCI to all power present 155? Amps present. Recommend electrician attention asap ($500-1000+).

The valving present is newer on the suction side, and missing a check valve on the pool suction side ($400). Additionally there are pipes no longer connected (pool sweep and two other lines ?) recommend service to confirm locations of piping ($500) and status likely with pressure testing ($500+).

Also recommend painting , labeling , and covering from UV with a simple UV mesh ($400).
