The pool surface appears to be over 30 years old based on the level of pitting observed, particularly along the step edges. Pitting typically starts to occur after 15 to 25 years depending on maintenance. While some areas remain smooth, other sections are heavily worn. This uneven wear and presence of pitting indicate that the plaster has likely exceeded its expected lifespan.

When pitting is present, the surface may begin to lose water, as plaster is the only waterproof layer. Given the current condition, resurfacing is recommended soon to prevent further deterioration and potential water loss.

Estimated Cost for Resurfacing: $10,000 – $12,000

The waterline tile all appears to be original without any major issue or loose or missing tiles present, Still issues are difficult to be seen thanks to the thick layer of calcium buildup that is present on the top portion of the tiles, I would estimate approximately $900 to remove this calcium.

The water is in poor condition, with algae visible throughout the pool. This indicates a breakdown in water balance and sanitization. In addition to standard shock treatment, multiple rounds of phosphate and enzyme treatments will be necessary. These should be paired with repeated filter cleanings to restore clarity and prevent reoccurrence.

There are also signs of water loss. Chemistry suggests dilution, and the autofill is running constantly at a high rate, which supports the likelihood of an active leak or loss through surface degradation.

Estimated Cost for Water Quality Restoration and Diagnosis: $500+

The main drain x 2 (1 equalizer) in the pool is due to have its cover updated, For safety due to age and condition ($88+).

It does appear that there are two Inflow return covers that are likely due to the updated as well ($88x2).

It does appear that the skimmer May be due for replacement due to potential cracks seen ($1500-3500). Recommend checking for leaks using dye ($100) To confirm. In the meantime, recommend updating the basket float, weir door and skimmer lid ($500).

The bottom cleaner unit is very old and likely due to just simply be updated ($650) versus repaired ($100-300+) due to its age and condition.

The auto fill is running consistently. I would recommend checking the auto fill float for any issues which it does not appear to have any and then confirm if water loss is present instead.

The pool light appears to have water present inside the light lens therefore recommend updating the can for replacement ($500-1200) + install $400

Surprisingly, I do not see any leaks presents, even though the filter is far from new condition, I’d be willing to bat based on the quality of the water, but the pressure gauge is bad which is not reading a pressure ($50) and the elements are likely due for replacement ($400+) Recommend service to confirm ($150).

This variable speed pump is in partial working condition, As the display on the butt of the motor is nearly completely sun destroyed. This is an obsolete part, so it cannot be updated at this time, but it would be wise to at least cover this motor screen before it completely destroys the pump. At the very least, the pump can be controlled via the main panel, But only partially. I would budget of four eventual replacement of this pump to be between 1200 up to 2800 installed, The range would be finding a drive for this pump, which would include a display, Updating to a new pump Altogether.

Booster pump is functioning with no leaks presents.

The breakers are new however they are not GFCI / variable speed ready - Recommend updating for safety ($300)

Also recommend updating with a water bond ($300) For an additional layer of safety.

The equipment pad is free of any leaks, Still, I would recommend some minor attention by doing valve service ($500) Repainting and relabeling equipment pad as well as covering from UV with a $50 UV mesh ($300). Also consider Updating the solar actuator / Solar valving as well as a check valve ($700) when ready to restart the solar. It does not appear that the solar has been used for some time / turned off / was not tested.
