Pool Surface Additional Notes

Blemishes present. Rust blemishes seen in shallow end; on second step, and shallow bottom. Also some rust seen in the deep end. All issues have a potential of issue (rebar related) recommend service to confirm if issue is topical or sub ($350+).

Excessive wear is seen in shallow end, mid end, deep end and spa = pebbles worn away.

Where the spillover meets the spa there is one small blemish that is likely related to water seeping in where the grout is where we are seeing discoloration occurring on the plaster surface. It is likely that this spillover area has been repaired in the past and may be due for a true tile spillover repair soon ($500-1500+) that would allow this area of the surface to remain water tight. This will be estimated in the tile section.

Also there is a calcium fisher in the spa further showing issue in tile area ^

There appears to have been a repair performed to this area and then it was likely plastered over, raised areas, recommend closer check ($100) to confirm status.

Filter Pump Additional Notes

Filter pumped to me looks nearly new (1-5 years old) I can’t believe that it’s display is no longer functioning. This is an obsolete part and may require a complete pump replacement ($2800) and or drive replacement ($1250+) if display cannot be found ($750+).

Special note that this pump does communicate with the main controller and therefore the panel is not necessarily require required however, for proper use and service it is required.

Working but leaking from its seal plate. Likely the cost to repair a leaking seal plate will range from $150-450. Note it’s an older pump and may be wise to consider updating this pump all together due to difficulty of sourcing parts / costs.

Equipment Control System


Board & Timer Condition: Recommend Safety Updates$600

GFCI Compliant

Board & Timer Additional Notes

The timer is in working condition. It is equipped with a screen logic interface, which allows phone connectivity, but requires an indoor unit that is likely connected to their modem. Do not take it. It only works with this outdoor antenna, and if it is taken, this will need to be replaced ($600+).

I would recommend updating the breakers to GFCI for safety ($300+)

I also recommend adding a water bond to bring this up to the latest safety standard ($300).

Overall Details

All Valving / actuators are working but due for service soon ($500+). Also recommend painting and re labeling as well as covering with a uv mesh ($50) = $300



No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
