The surface has many blemishes present throughout;

On the east beach raised surface, there appears to be a cracked developing that would likely run an estimated 8 feet or more along the top of the radius, in two particular areas there does appear to be a visible crack forming - that will likely continue to expand, and if I had to bet it is currently leaking water. To repair this immediate edge issue I would anticipate a cost of $2-4k, and it would be difficult to match the existing color of the plaster perfectly therefore, the entire top may be resurfaced which would get it closer to the 4k number.

In other sections of the pool, I am seeing a slight acceleration of where, especially near the bottom of the tile line around the Spa spill over.

Inside the spa, there are some unusual markings, specially on the east side seats and lowest foot area. In the main pool, there appears to be blemishes in the deepest area likely from 3 inch chlorine tablets sitting on the surface for a prolonged period of time that are likely just a topical stain that may be able to be removed with attention.

In the deep area, I see what appeared to be scratches of some kind and one potential, unusual raised, calcium, fisher, forming at the south portion of the deep end step at the bottom.

The shallow and steps also have some unusual markings present.

There are also so many rust stains in the pool that appeared to be simple surface stains. I can be removed with service if desired ($400+) - which will also allow us to confirm if any of these rest stains are in fact, rebar related.

Overall surface seems relatively new, but with so many issues present already it is an overall concern factor for me, one way salt water would not be my recommendation moving forward. Additionally, there is a considerable amount of black algae presence that will likely require the pool to potentially be drained and acid washed and refilled, before it can truly proliferate into the plaster surface, this action will degrade the plaster quality and likely shorten its overall lifespan up to 50% or if done correctly less than 10%. The Acid Wash cost will be determined in the water quality section.

And as a sidenote, the cost to re-plaster the surface full the Pool & Spa likely range from 10 to 13k fyi.

In general, it is wise to spill over your Spa less than 30 minutes per day, otherwise mortar will wear away faster, and it appears that we are seeing issues developing on this spill over as moisture is found on both sides of the spillover outside of the spa even before turning on the spa, which may be an indicator that water loss is occurring in this area, and around the entire Spa as I do see calcium formation developing on the outside of the spa, this may be indicative of normal use, as when the blowers are turned on the spa will overflow as seen in SPA picture at start of report , or it could be a sign of water loss occur occurred that may be permeating through the spill area, therefore, I feel it is wise to estimate the spillover area to be re-waterproofed at a cost estimated at $1500-2500+ pending on severity of issue present / developing.

There is calcium build up present throughout the pool and spa spillover that can be removed if desired for approx $950+

Additionally there are many gaps present between the concrete and the pool coping, this can be filled in if desired with soft mastic at approx cost of $2k+ but what may be wise would be to grind down the raised edges to prevent toe injury as there are at least four locations where the concrete is raised between the concrete and the coping to prevent injury = grinding may run $1-2k.

The ph and alkalinity are high , and the chlorine is nearly 0 (free) 5 total. Due to the amount of black algae present, if be wise to do immediate treatments to minimize the organic matter, that is present ($350-525+) but due to how much is present, it would likely be wise to consider doing a drain and Acid clean ($750+) as the algae is proliferated through the entire pool.

It appears both sets of main drains and the Pool & Spa are compliant.

The skimmer has significant algae buildup inside, he will likely also need a new float, float o ring , basket ($250) soon due to organic matter + condition

While the bottom cleaner is in working condition, it does appear that there is significant algae buildup present inside the unit itself, and therefore will require an acid bath and service ($200+) and judging by the condition of the in-line leaf canister that may also be due for replacement ($100+).

In my opinion, though it would be wise to potentially just use this money to get a new cleaner, like the 2 or 4 wheel “the pool cleaner” and Pentiar in line basket ($550) is this unit does not have the longest life expectancy. It is already slightly older and it’s replacing parts are very expensive and proprietary.

The auto fill has been running continuously since I arrived at the property, even after the spa spillover was shut off, this is generally indicating water, losses, present, or the auto float head is due for service, recommend service to the float head to guarantee operation is confirmed ($250+).

This pool light also appears to have light condensation present, likely half as much as the spa light, but it is still present, indicating it is likely due for updating and or replacement ($1250 light can + install ($350).

It does appear the spotlight has water condensation inside the light lens, this light can would then have to be replaced, a new LED Pentair spa size light is approx $1200 after tax + install $350. Note though that if the light is less than three years old, it may be covered under warranty at no cost replacement.

Filter with some normal sun damage. It has high pressure, and because there is black algae present so prolific it is likely spread to the filter elements, therefore the elements will likely be due for a replacement after treatments to the water to eliminate the black algae. Therefore I would recommend service ($150) and anticipate a cost of $400 for new filter elements likely a new tank O-ring ($100) and it would be wise to update the pressure gauge ($50) and possibly clean the inside of the filter with acid ($50).

The pump is in near new condition 2019 model without issue at this time. Also note that the motor appears to potentially have been updated in the past 2-3 years, but cannot confirm. Either way - a like new working pump.

Working without issue, there has been a hole drilled in the side of the pipe that is making a lot of extra noise, could be blocked, but he’s letting out just the right amount of air to allow the Jets to not be so wild that water jumps out of the spa.

Working without issue just recommend painting the gas line as described in Valving section.

The board and timer are in ideal working condition. We have GFCI to the pump and lights.

The salt system is not functioning properly likely due to water loss being present, therefore the salt level cannot be maintained appropriately, therefore this unit is not producing chlorine. Overall salt cells typically last 3 to 7 years in this unit appears to be approximately six years old therefore, replacement cell will likely be due soon if original ($950+). It is likely that the salt level will be due for re balancing at approx $200-500 if applicable.

All valving is functioning. The only issue I see is a leak that appears to be coming from the salt cell apparatus, will likely require service to resolve, detail in the salt section of the report.

Otherwise, all valving appears to be in working condition without issue at this time, the only valve of issue is the jets valve which may require minor attention ($100). Otherwise recommend a fresh coat of paint on the plumbing and the Gas Line + labeling and covering from UV ($300+).
