The fencing is very nice, but it does not need safety standards, especially because of the self closing self latching status, it just needs a minor adjustment to accomplish this.

The pool surface is a gunite proprietary mix by Natural Design Pools, claimed to be waterproof but likely nearing the end of its 10-15 year lifespan, as the pool appears over 15 years old. Missing gunite sections are noted, especially in the shallow and step areas, indicating a need for resurfacing or re-waterproofing. Resurfacing by Natural Design Pools may cost $8,000-$12,000, but using an alternate plaster company could be cheaper, around $8,000-$10,000, and allow smoothing of rough bottom edges to improve bottom cleaner efficiency and longevity.

The pool water shows algae in corners despite high chlorine levels, indicating established algae requiring one or two full-spectrum treatments, costing up to $375. The sand filter keeps additional treatments from significantly increasing costs, highlighting its efficiency and value.

The pool has three main drains, with one cover plugged and sealed with putty, likely a temporary waterproofing fix. A proper repair, requiring pool level lowering and mortar application, is recommended during replastering, costing $500. All main drain covers need updating at $100 each, totaling $300 for three. Total cost for this section is $800.

The pool has one skimmer, fully equipped with all parts. The parts all do look to be heavily chlorine damaged, and it may be wise to consider updating the float, the floating some skimmer parts inside and a weighted basket ($500).

The bottom cleaner is partially functional but aging, with an estimated one to two years of remaining life. It needs parts like a new tail, tires, and possibly a hose, costing around $300. However, replacing it with a new return-style bottom cleaner, better suited for this pool than the current pressure-style model, is recommended for optimal cleaning. A new unit costs approximately $650. Total cost for this section is $300 for repairs or $650 for a new unit.

The auto fill is housed in a canister with blemish markings, raising concerns about potential water loss. The auto fill runs continuously, suggesting a need for service, including updating the float and inspecting the canister for leaks. This service typically costs $125-$250. Total cost for this section is $125-$250.

The pool light could not be turned on, possibly due to water inside the lens. If confirmed, a replacement Pentair white LED light costs $900, with $350 for labor to install in a 10-inch light can. Total cost for this section is $1,250.

Even though this filter is in relatively good condition. It does have a faulty pressure gauge, and I would be willing to bet that the sand inside is due for updating as the filter is older than 12 years especially if the sand hasn’t been replaced in the past seven years. A sand swap service likely runs around $600 and that should include the sand. Also a pressure gauge is $50.

The filter pump is working without issue. Note though that the pump basket has browning likely from high chlorine usage, versus iron in the soil as the iron would be covering all aspects of the basket. Still without issue at this time.

There is no board and timer instead of the filter pump is simply being powered via a breaker, the breakers are older GFI and should be updated to GFCI for updated safety standard ($300) + install ($350). It may also be wise to consider adding a water bond for one more layer of additional safety ($400).

All of the valving installed is very hard to turn and is due to be serviced, but likely replaced due to the overwhelming level of chlorine that is present / or was present at one time. Also recommend painting re-labeling and covering from UV ($300).
