Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile is a decorative tile that is overlaid on top of the surface. It appears to be in good condition overall.

There is some presence of water stop nearest the skimmer that is starting to come off slightly, this can eventually be removed and replaced with mastic if applicable ($500-1k+), which appears to only be in the south east section and under the waterfall at this time.

The skimmer to tile connection appears to be in fair condition at this time.

The waterfall appears to have had its internal basins re-waterproof recently, it is likely that it was leaking for a prolonged period of time and therefore they had to consistently refill the pool with freshwater to make up for that water loss, still at this time, I do not see any water loss present.

Additional Water Quality Notes

There is a potential for water loss being present, due to the low levels of CYA, and cal hardness. Or this may have been recently drained and refilled.

Still recommend minor modification to the CYA level ($50) and recheck in chemistry in 1 to 30 days to confirm water loss status.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

There is two older main drains, they are recommended to be updated soon due to age and for safety ($100x2).

The skimmer is in seemingly good condition. There is Present likely from high copper usage in the pool, but otherwise the skimmer is free of blemishes.

Recommend installing the appropriate skimmer float valve, float O-ring, stay right skimmer lid soon ($200).

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Damaged, some major parts need to be replaced ($205) $205

Cleaner #1 Cleaner #2

"The Pool Cleaner" 2 Wheel
Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

This bottom cleaner is in working condition, but it is older and due for updated tires and likely hoses ($105+). Note that a brand new unit is approximately $400. And regardless, if you got a new unit or kept this unit, I recommended an in-line leaf basket. My favorite is the Pentair rainbow ($100).

There is a pool light installed. It is a fiber optic illuminator. The illuminating tower appears to be in fair condition. Still the cost to update this with a LED option is $100-300 light to $300-500 power / controller and install $500.

This filter is nearing its date for service to the filter elements, which is generally required every three months ($50-125+). I do not feel that the elements are necessarily due for replacement at this time ($350+) but during service you can check.

Filter Pump Additional Notes

This pump is in working condition without major issue at this time. This Pump is approximately 10 years old. There is some vibration heard in the motor (2/4). It is possible the motor is begging to fail, and or the elements are over due for service, if the motor is over stressed, expect a new motor cost ($950+) in the next 1-10 years.

Board & Timer Additional Notes

The timer is my least favorite, it would be wise to consider allowing this time to always run that within, then allow this to run its own internal timer that is superior to this. Still, it does appear to be working.

I would’ve recommend updating the breaker to the pump and pool lights for safety ($300+) and also considering adding a water bond ($300). Otherwise, all items appear to be working at this time.

Overall Details

The Valving present is in working condition. I am unsure as to why they used flex tubing for the suction side, plumbing. This should be removed and replaced for longevity purposes ($400+).

At that same time, consider servicing the two three-way valves, re painting and labeling, and updating the chlorinator hoses / connection ($600) to ensure this pad is good for another 10 to 20 + more years before the next service is needed.
