The gate going into the backyard pool area is due for very minor adjustment to self close and self latch, when opened 50% it does have some minor issues self closing.

Pool Surface Notes
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface in the pool is likely older than 10 years, possibly even older than 20 = as I am seeing where especially on steps and edges, overall the surface is relatively in fair condition for its age; but there is rust stains on the bottom of the entry steps on the east (likely simple surface stain that can be removed ($200+), and a lemon below the pool light that appears to be rebar and heavily corroded, indicating it’s been existent for a long time, and should be repaired sooner than later at a cost of $1,000 to $3000+ depending on severity of issue behind the surface. Note though that this would be wise is to be repaired at time of Re Plaster because it will be a big ugly partially noticeable patch otherwise.

A resurfacing on a pool this size will likely run 8 to 10,000+ depending on options.

Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile overall is calcium free and in relatively good condition, I do see some areas of concern inside the skimmer throats. Some of the tile mortar is cracking and due for re-waterproofing soon ($1k+), otherwise the rest of the waterline tile appears to be in good condition.

The raised walls, specifically on the backside , I do see water loss around the waterfall area that may require some attention with mortar / plumbing repair ($1k+).

The other fish figurines are essentially just easily movable figurines, and are not mounted in any way, except for its soft hose.

Also, there are many areas of uneven concrete Moore found on the pool equipment side. These all should be grind down for safety to prevent trap hazards as they are all very dangerous ($1-2k+)

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality is indicating that we have high chlorine, Weekly Service may have just visited and that might be why the level is so high, but overall it would be wise to consider keeping chlorine lower, and also confirming if the high chlorine is masking algae, that is likely present, which will require minor treatments to remove ($85+).

I do see multiple locations where water losses present; the backside of the water fall, fish jet heads (very small), filter pump return fitting, and one other location on the equipment pad… therefore recommend re-checking in one to 30 days (these results are skewed by weekly service)

Both skimmers have all parts present, but the floats and float. O-rings are going to be due for updating soon and likely a new skimmer lid soon as well to prevent injury, and a new weighted skimmer basket ($500).

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Fair - Recommend Service Soon $205

Filter Additional Notes

The filter is in working condition does appear that the pressure is slightly high and the filter is likely due for its quarterly filter cleaning + o ring service ($150), and at time of service confirm if elements are due for replacement ($500) which I feel there is a strong likelihood they are, if older than 2 to 5 years.

Filter Pump Additional Notes

The filter pump is relatively new, and likely just needs minor maintenance to the return O-ring and the drain plug O-ring ($200). But if there’s a leak in the shaft seal area, expect the cost of $750 or less.

His pump is nearly new, but it is leaking from its return fitting, which likely can be resolved with service very easily ($100).

It would be wise to consider hard plumbing this, for longevity instead ($450).
