Additional Tile Notes

The tile is Older, but appears to be in working condition with some areas showing gaps forming, requiring re mortaring service soon ($500-1k+).

The West border from the coping to the paver stones, has a vendor board that may need some attention as it is lifting and uneven in certain areas creating a trip hazard ($500).

There’s also very light calcium buildup present on the top portion of the tile that can be removed if desired ($450+).

Also, the chlorine and pH levels are very high and should be adjusted ($50).

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

There are two main drain covers that are due to be updated for safety ($88x2).

The skimmer is heavily chlorine abused. Lots of signs of high chlorine levels (like currently).

The skimmer is due to have its float float, ring, and weighted basket updated ($200) vs current setup.

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Fair, minimal parts needed for tune-up ($105) $105

Hayward Navigator - Suction
Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

The bottom cleaner is actually in good working condition. Generally, this is one of my least favorite unit as it typically only works for one to three years and then it will require a rebuild ($300+) versus a better unit, which is the pool cleaner four wheel ($400) and a pen in line leaf basket ($105) - recommend adding the in-line leaf basket now for this unit.

Filter Additional Notes

The filter is heavily sun damaged. Is due for a new pressure gauge + air, bleed assembly ($100+). Also confirm if the elements inside this filter have been replaced in the past one to five years. If it has not been replaced the cost of approx $300.

Note I wouldn’t put any money into this filter currently instead a better option would be the Pentair TA 60 / TA 100 D Sand Filters ($500-800+).

Board & Timer Additional Notes

The timer isn’t working condition, but it is being bypassed to allow the filter pump to function its own timer. The breakers are due to be updated to GFCI ($300) which will include the outlet that is currently tripping when reset. Also consider adding a water bond ($300) or additional layers of safety.

Overall Details

The pool equipment pad is due to be painted labeled and covered from UV ($300) using a simple UV mesh like a blanket.



Condition
Poor
Notes

It is likely that this three-way valve internals ($150+) is due to be updated and or O-rings updated ($150+), otherwise this is how you function the suction side of the pump.

Condition
Poor
Notes

This in-line chlorinator is not being used at this time, even though it does appear that it could be, but it is in my opinion a low quality unit that is not sized appropriately for this pool and should be removed and replaced with a more appropriate in my chlorinator like the Pentair 320 ($300).

Condition
Damaged (Needs Attention)
Notes

This check valve is due to be updated due to its age and condition ($200).
