Pool Surface Additional Notes

The pool surface is likely over 15 years old. In the deep end, there are multiple blemishes that appear to be scratches, though some may be cracks—it’s difficult to confirm due to the number of overlapping marks. Additional blemishes are visible on the northwest wall. And shallow end (large black scratch / crack?).

Overall, the surface is in fair to poor condition and nearing expiration.

The cost to re-plaster a pool of this size typically ranges from $8,000 to $12,000.

Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile all appears to be in good condition overall without issue present.

The skimmer throat where the skimmer meets the tile appears to be due for a new fresh mortar joint ($500-1k+) soon.

The water stop is coming off in Minnie locations between the concrete and the tile recommend removing and replacing with mastic ($1k-1500+).

We have high chlorine and high pH and alkalinity, recommend minor water, chemistry adjustments ($20).

Even though the water chemistry isn’t indicating water loss is present, I am seeing water loss on the equipment pad. Recommend recheck in one to 30 days to confirm status.

It appears the main drain cover is missing and due for updating ($100).

The skimmer is due to have its float O-ring, weir door, and skimmer lid updated ($200).

Also inside the skimmer or some scratches and blemishes and signs of previous chlorine abuse

There are four would appear to be blocks put on the return jets. I’m unsure as to why they are installed. Pictured in Valving section #5.

There is one skimmer installed in this pool.

It appears that the bottom cleaner is nearing a rebuild due to age and condition. This will replace the bottom scrubbers and maybe give attention to the my basket that is leaking air at its seal ($205+) not allowing the unit to function.

Board & Timer Additional Notes

Yellow dial timer is being bypassed, and the pump is always being powered.

The higher timer could allow the pump to function with it but it would require communication cable ($100+) and programming ($100).

The panel is due for service via electrician ; to its breakers to be updated to GFCI to bring this to 2025 standard ($300). Also adding a water bond ($300). And covering exposed areas.

The GFI breaker is currently tripped with power to the pool light
