Pool Surface Notes
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is heavily worn and likely worn through to the gunite in some sections, and may be causing water loss as a result. The cost to resurface this pool would likely run between $8 to 12k and in my opinion is going to be needed either soon or now.

Additional Tile Notes

On the east side of the pool on the waterline tile, there appears to be some calcium build up present likely due to some wear / separation present - this will be addressed likely at the next rep Plaster stage as this would be the most effective time - it may require the east side tile to be removed and reapplied or more depending on issues below ($500+) and at the same time the skimmer throat should be resealed as well.

Around The Pool, there is some separation between the brick and concrete that can be scraped out and refilled with mastic if desired $2k

Water Quality Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention) $350

pH Level Details Free Chlorine Details Total Chlorine Details Cyanuric Acid Details Alkalinity Notes Calcium Notes

No
Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality is poor as there is algae present in the pool and the pH and alkalinity are slightly high, as well as the CYA levels being low and the calcium hardness being somewhat low as well (generally indicating new or water loss being present).

To properly balance this pool and eliminate the algae, it would be wise to do treatments ($350+) to assist with that.

Note because the surface is worn, it makes it easier for organic matter to grow.

Recommend balancing the water chemistry and recheck for water loss in one to 30 days.

Skimmer & Main Drain Circulation: Recommend Updates $200

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

All parts are present in the skimmer. I would just recommend adding a weighted basket ($50)

And the main drain cover should be updated for safety ($150) due to its age and condition.

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Fair, minimal parts needed for tune-up ($105) $105

Cleaner #1 Cleaner #2
Bottom Cleaner Brand Bottom Cleaner Model
Pentair Legend
Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

The unit is older, but it is working, it will likely only need minor assistance to bring it back to fair working condition, which will include reattaching its tail maybe updating a few hose swivels and the like.

Pool Light Condition: Damaged$900

Pool Light #1 Pool Light #2

Pool Light Notes

The pool light does turn on and function, which is not ideal as it is indicating the GFI is likely not functioning for safety, because the light has water present inside the light lens, and therefore this light can should be updated ($500+ can + install $400).

Spa Light Condition: $0

Booster Pump Additional Notes

Working however during use, leaks from its seal plate, hose connections, and the pump is likely older than 15 years, therefore it may be wise just to consider updating the booster pump completely ($450-850 new pump) + new hoses to pvc plumbing and installation ($650) vs repairs $450+

950
Board & Timer Additional Notes

The panel is functioning well without issue at this time, the only area of concern is the older GFI, that should be updated to GFCI + likely its own subpanel ($650+) and one more additional layer of safety would be adding a water bond at $300.

Otherwise, everything is currently turning on at this time.

Auxiliary Timer Condition: $

Salt Control Systems Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention)$1850

Salt Control #1 Salt Control #2
Salt System Power Detect Salt Flow Detect Salt Presence Low Salt
Yes Yes Yes Yes
Salt Control System Additional Notes

The controller appears to be working however the salt cell itself may be older than seven years, and therefore is due to be updated ($950+) and the water may be due to be re balanced and a new flow switch ($900+). Note that a better technology is UV at a much cheaper price point.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention)$1500

Overall Details

The equipment pad is covered for the majority of the day. It is still open for a brief 2 to 3 hour window and therefore it should be better covered if possible to protect it from UV. This can easily be accomplished even using a cheap $50 UV mesh. Also, the plumbing should be painted and labeled ($250+).

Additionally, there are several issues as defined below, but it would be wise to consider updating the plumbing to remove leaks and potential failure issues in the near future. The plumbing repairs will cost between 500 in parts up to 1500 including labor / installed.



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.
