Additional Tile Notes

Spa spillover , waterfall, and rock work - overall will need re waterproofing / mortar attention soon now to 5 years ($1-3k+).

There are raised areas, gaps, and trip hazards present. It appears approx ($1-3k+) in grinding high edges and filling with mastic.

Medium level of Calcium build up present ($900+)

Also it’s worth mentioning the skimmer and connected decking appears to be 1” higher (which any movement can lead to water loss issues) if this movement is putting pressure on the skimmer to pool connection it may sheer and require replacement ($1-3k) if water loss occurs here (I feel this is the most likely location for leaks - if and when they appear).

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

This appears to be a functioning as a normal skimmer, but has the capability to be ran as a Venturi skimmer (which is generally, a superior skimmer) if high return flow is possible. Still to re activate this skimmer expect a cost of approx for service $250+

Otherwise recommend a new weighted basket and possible skimmer lid ($100).

Heater Additional Notes

The heater does turn on an operate, it’s blower, It’s igniter, and it’s gas all function and this unit does turn on and heat for less than 30 seconds before it shuts off. This is typically caused by a low flow, which we are seeing as a result of a very, very dirty filter. Likely after the filter is clean this heater should work without issue. Otherwise a service call ($150+) would likely find and diagnose any issue.

Overall Details


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.
Condition
Damaged (Needs Attention)
Notes

The Valving is sticking and likely low quality swap out parts with oem. I would estimate when the time comes the cost of approx 8 Jandy internals updated (some needed now others in approx 3 years or less) = $500+
