Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile is all original, and it appears to be in fair condition overall but many gaps are forming, especially between the top of the tile and the bottom of the coping, as well as as the coping itself has many sections of missing mortar and loose areas, as well as the decking around the pool is all gapping and showing signs of age. It will likely be required to remodel all of this 3-6k+.

Additionally, the Spa bill area will need to be re-waterproof, especially at the corners ($2k+).

Algae present? Foliage found in water? Water loss present?
Yes, Light Algae was found In Shade or Corners of Pool, Increasing chlorine, adjusting chemicals to proper levels, and doing enzyme and phosphate treatments along with 2 separate filter cleanings, one before treatments and one after will help reduce or eliminate algae ($375) No
Additional Water Quality Notes

We have algae present throughout the pool. This is likely due to organic matter being present, coupled with the duck that is swimming in the pool and will not leave.

There is not major signs of water loss, but I would expect the surface to no longer be watertight in several locations, as well as the spa spill over.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

There are two main drain covers installed. Both are due to be updated for safety due to age and condition ($100x2).

The skimmer is missing its float, float o ring, I’d recommend adding a weighted basket, and a new lid ($500).

Also be aware that the skimmer is heavily chlorine abused, and at the next Repair plaster stage or red decking stage, it would be wise to update the skimmer ($1500+) for longevity.

Board & Timer Additional Notes

The two timers are in working condition. It also appears that a GFCI has been installed likely on the light run, and when reset is tripping, indicating there is a safety issue with the pool light. It would also be wise to update this variable speed pump to a GFCI ($100) and update the pool light circuit to a new GFCI ($50) + electrician service ($300+).

Overall Details

The pool equipment pad is mostly covered for the majority of the day, but it may be wise to consider adding one additional UV mesh, and some paint but mostly label ($300 or less).



No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
