There are two gates, the west and East gate the Westgate does self close and south latch the east gate does not, recommend minor attention to the east gate for safety ($125+).

It appears to be a painted surface over a very old Plaster, and it is likely that both will need to be removed at the Plaster stage, this will require additional work and therefore a small additional cost ($1-2k+) on top of the cost to re Plaster a pool of this size approx 650 Sqft. 12-15k+

The waterline tile is all present surprisingly due to its age, which is likely older than 30 years still no major issues seen even the mortar is in relatively good condition with minimal wear present.

There is a calcium buildup that is present that can be removed if desired $950+

There are some gaps slowly forming where the coping meets the concrete where plants and whatnot are growing through that has previously been resealed with mastic, this can be resealed again for approximately 2 to 3K

Last is the skimmer throat that appears to be overdue for waterproofing ($1-2k+) and it may be wise to do the waterproofing service at the re-Plaster stage which will allow you to completely replace the skimmer, which would be my recommendation ($2-3500+) vs doing any type of repair to it.

The water quality is indicating that the calcium hardness and CYA levels are comparable to tapwater indicating the pool may have been recently filled or water loss may be present, given the fact that the surface of Plaster and paint is the waterproof barrier and it is missing = This is to be expected. Plus, the filter is leaking during operation - another point of water loss.

To properly balance, the water expect a cost of $100-375 if desiring long-term use in its current condition.

The main drain cover itself is due to be updated for safety ($100+) at a Time of plaster recommend updating to a VGBA compliant cover (1k+)

The skimmer has significant chlorine wear present, and while in relatively fair condition overall due to the abuse and the undersized skimmer ports, and obvious resealing issuesit would likely be wise to update vs keep.

Still all parts are present except for a weir door recommend adding a weird door , a new float O-ring , and weight weighted basket ($300) to prolong the life of this skimmer.

The unit is older and likely due for some updates on parts, which will include the new tires and even likely a new hose ($205-350+) but this was difficult to confirm due to The Pool equipment not being able to fully start up.

It may be wise to consider a new unit due to this unit’s age and condition.

The manual fill appeared to have a small leak that can likely be fixed. Relatively easily ($10) but may require more work to resolve ($250).

This is an older Swim quip light with a specialty size that will require replacement with a specific light ($700+) and likely $450 installation.

To avoid having to use this old, one specific light, recommend updating the light canister at time of re- Plaster ($1k+).

The filter, is a low cost plastic shell sand filter, that while very efficient and is a low cost to maintain is showing signs of multiple issues, to the point, I would feel confident in classifying this as likely a complete replacement if not now in the next five years or less.

Recommend a higher quality shell, especially if there is no UV protection, like the TA-100d Pentiar - which is comparable to this filter, but higher quality fiberglass shell at approx $1k cost + install $850.

Still, this unit would likely require new sand, new connections, new multiport, all costing $1k or more.

The filter pump does turn on and function, however, it is unable to fully prime when I first arrived even with a half full skimmer basket, but after filling the pool for 30 minutes I was able to get the filter pump to prime = it leaking from its return, and the pump itself sounding in poor / bearings nearing failure condition, I would anticipate this Pump to last another 1-24 months before repairs / replacement would be required = repairs ($500-1k) just in plumbing / shaft seal / etc. vs a new variable speed at $1k Superflo Vs + install $850+

Working poorly, vibrating, leaning at suction connection = nearing expiration ($1650 new installed with hard plumbing vs soft)

The timer / board appears to be in relatively fair condition. Its breakers are due to be updated to GFCI compliant ($300 parts + 350 electrician labor) + water bond ($300) for safety. Currently the breakers do not test / reset themselves indicating there may be a fault or no power present.

The pool equipment pad appears to be updated with new plastic plumbing and equipment in the past 10-25 years, with copper Plumbing still present. I was not able to get the filter pump to fully prime correctly, and this may likely be due to an issue on the suction side of the pump related to plumbing if that is the case, it could require opening this area to the skimmer (15 feet) and lay new pipe and install a new skimmer - that new skimmer cost is separate in tile section- but this plumbing update should run 4-6k+ depending on issues seen and will likely be required in the next 1-30 years depending on quality of piping.

Still, what is seen is Older sun beaten Plumbing that should be updated asap to allow this pool to actually circulate / prevent damage and help this pump not expire itself due to lack of water flow.

Note that even when I put the filter into recirculation mode, the pump still did not fully prime until later in the inspection after filling for almost an hour.

I would estimate a cost of 2 to 4K Just in re-plumbing work on top of concrete now and resealing the connections present, which would include possible jackhammering open concrete around the plumbing connections only and confirming if they are correct or need to be updated.
