The surface age of the Pool may be less than 15 years old, but they likely did a re plaster job over an older Plaster job, this is a lower cost method, and only lasts up to 15 years vs 30 doing a more complete option of removing all of the previous surface. The surface in the pool is heavily checking, especially on the top sections, where is seen in several locations likely through to the lower layer of Plaster as well. The pool is nearing its due date for re- plastering soon if not already (due to water loss evidence seen).

The plaster surface to redo for the Pool & Spa likely would cost 12 to 17k to re do correctly / completely.

The waterline tile all appears to be present. I am seeing some gaps, forming between the concrete and the top of the tile mostly seen on the north section of the pool, and likely the south section of the Spa. These areas can be refilled and if needed ($500+).

On the Spa spill over east side, I am seeing some gaps forming between the tiles, and will need some fresh mortar soon ($500+).

Both skimmers have low quality putty work performed to them. Both are due for mortar updates ($1000+) to allow re sealing, this would be most cost efficient to be done at re plaster stage.

There is very light calcium present that can be removed if desired ($450+).

Water is green and likely due for water treatments ASAP as it is showing signs of newer water present (cal hardness at 200-300) and zero cya.

It does appear that the main drain covers in the Pool & Spa are updated to VGBA compliant.

Both skimmers are older, and it would be very wise to consider updating these skimmers at the replaster stage ($1-2k+).

In the meantime, it may be wise to consider adding new weir doors and weighted baskets if possible ($300). Also note that due to the age and condition of the skimmers it would be wise to do a simple die test to confirm leak free status ($200) of these as cracks / blemishes are seen.

The bottom cleaner is functioning nearly
New hose, however the hose is too long and likely due for some updates, which may also include a new tail ($105+).

Surprisingly, the pool light is turn on however, there is water present inside the light lens and therefore should be updated for safety. Cost of a new can $600-1200 and install $400.

I wasn’t able to get this light to turn on, still, I did not expect it to because of water being present inside the light lens. Cost of a new can $600-1200 and install $400.

Filter is working, leaking at its tank o ring, due for quarterly filter cleaning ($150+) and also a new pressure gauge ($50). Recommend service to confirm if elements are due for replacement ($500) which, judging by how quickly the pool turned green, they likely are due.

This pump is in working condition, without issue at this time. Recommend binding wire addition for safety ($100).

This pump has 1 out of 4 level of vibration present, indicating the motor is nearing due for simple bearing service ($350+) in the next 1-3 years vs repalcment pump at ($650+). Still this pump is working and currently not leaking at this time. Recommend adding a bonding wire for safety ($100).

This pump does turn on however it does not catch prime, this may be due to leaking seal plates ($775+) / impeller issue ($250+) due to age or a need for a suction side check valve ($300). It may be wise to instead consider a new pump ($750-2800+) vs repairing this older heavily worn / missing parts (drain plug screw) pump ($750+).

This heater is working, however, the gas line was turned off when I arrived, and its power switch was very sticky.

I have been heating the heater for approximately 45 minutes, and due to the faulty valves for his pool or spa control was only able to heat the water 2° in that time. Still, the heater appears to be functional without issue at this time.

Recommend adding a drip leg as well as a bonding wire for safety ($500).

The board is working, but due for updated GFCI breakers ($300+) and a water bond to this system due to lack of bond present ($300+).

The system is indicating low salt level, which likely is helping us. See that water loss or new fresh freshwater is present. Additionally, it will likely need a new salt cell ($950) if desiring to utilize the salt system. And rebalancing of salt ($300).

The pool equipment pad is due to be painted labeled and covered from UV ($300+).

The Valving to control the suction and return of the spa or pool is located under the concrete decking between the spa and the house, the valving is leaking currently and likely the only long-term solution would be to replace these valves ($1500+) as well as some minor concrete modification ($500+).
