The entry steps on the west side of the pool appear to be OK but initially I felt the abnormalities present were of potential issue but again likely are only abnormalities (not cracks with water loss present). There are some rest stains on the last step that appeared to be only surface level and not rebar related. Recommend minor service to confirm/remove ($100+).

In the middle deep end of the pool, we are seeing dust and debris present, seemingly normal, but could potentially be covering issues below.

There is considerable calcium buildup present throughout, I would likely run $700-$900 to remove.

The waterline tile appears to be in fair condition overall.

I do see that the waterfall on the backside is leaking water and on the front side I am seeing gaps therefore this waterfall should be re-waterproofed ($500-2k+).

There is no chlorine present inside this water body, and I do see water bugs present. The calcium hardness level appears to be higher, indicating this water is likely older, and the CYA levels appear to be low but near 20-40 ppm.

I am seeing some unusual suspended material in the water, it was also first noticed when I turned on the Phil and saw bubbles after the water was disturbed, it may be that the water is older and too many chemicals have been added, and therefore a drain and refill may be the wisest option ($200-500+). Typically this amount of water would cost less than $50 to refill.

Otherwise, the likely cost to bring this body of water back to near ideal with chemistry alone is $100-200. This would be the same cost to rebalance the water if drain and refilled.

The main drain cover in the pool appears to be compliant, but it is due for updating due to age and condition ($250).

Special note that the west side of The Pool has two returns and one bottom cleaner return, and one in floor return the in floor return appears to potentially be working, but not much even with filter in recirc mode (highest flow). This is unusual and does require further investigating via service ($100+).

All parts are present. Both skimmers have wear and chlorine abuse present, Scratches and blemishes, and some cracks in the skimmers shell.

Also recommend minor potential leak location (east skimmer corner) a + b epoxy repair ($100+). Dad eventually when a pool gets plastered that this area will be investigated / likely minor repaired further.

There is no bottom cleaner installed, but it is set up currently for a Polaris 360 ($650+)

Without issue.

Install new can ($400).

This filter does appear to be in like new condition however I am seeing so much coagulate present in the water that there may be issues with the internal mechanisms of this filter (laterals) or $500+ or the sand itself if Older $500+.

Typically sand like this will last up to 5 to 10 years or more depending on type. Recommend checking with the seller to confirm the status.

Note the pool is clear in general (generally a sign of a working filter) however, I am surprised that the coagulator has not been picked up by this filter yet which may be caused by an issue inside the filter as I mentioned, or simply an abundance of chemical added, which may be more likely the cause / a filter is due for backwash service ($10). Recommend attention to confirm. Worst case cost is $1k.

Also note this filter is at 62 gpm max which is likely 50-70% of pump max speed. Recommend adjustments to confirm this max speed is set on filter pump.

Pump is in working condition without mechanical issue at this time.

The suction and return connections appear to be Leak free, but I am seeing air in the pump basket that may be caused by a dry lid O-ring ($10) or a bad suction side connection ($300+) or both (estimated). The lid is also put back on backwards.

For peace of mind to avoid eventual issue with the return connection of this pump and it being a flexible pipe, it would be wise to consider updating the suction side and return side connection fittings ($300) + check valve ($300) for longevity purposes when ready. Estimated in Valving section.

This panel has very old breakers recommend updating to GFCI compliant variable speed breaker and GFCI pool light breakers ($300+). It would also be wise to consider adding a water bond ($300+).

Upon arrival, the pool light breaker was set to the off position, indicating that it is likely known that this pool light is filled with water and should be replaced for safety.

This panel is only being used as a sub panel.

Additionally, the pool light to me appears to be close to 1 foot, but likely slightly low, recommend minor service to confirm for safety ($10).
