Additional Tile Notes

On the west side of the pool tile line I do see some blemishes present / areas of some concern / calcium and mortar blemishes present and one hollow spot on backside tile, this may be cosmetic, but with movement seen inside skimmer throat and autofill running may lead me to believe these may be indicators of issue present.

Also on backside of pool I do see some gaps present that may need to be sealed again in the next 1-10 years (picture last section #5).

Recommend re sealing the auto drain and skimmer top ($500) and test tiles for water loss. - Update = now sealed.

Algae present? Foliage found in water? Water loss present?
A phosphate treatment ($85) will help reduce dissolved organics (100-1000ppb) by coagulating organics for 7-10 days allowing collection to occur on the filter. A filter cleaning is required after treatment., An enzyme treatment would reduce dissolved organics additionally through enzyme breakdown and oxidization ($65), Filter Cleaning and Filter Treatment 1 - 10 days after treatments would help reduce and eliminate algae and organic debris ($125) No
Additional Water Quality Notes

Very light Algae seen especially at water line tiles. Recommend treatments to remove as recommended, which is common 1-3 times a year for perfect water balance vs high chlorine levels to attempt to mask alage (as seen currently).

Updated water tests at last section.

Overall Details

Recommend covering the equipment pad and protecting it from UV ($50)

Also labeling ($50).



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.
