Near New - Likely a Low Cost (Beautiful) Surface - Slight Browning / Yellowing / Mottling Present - common with over chlorination or over metal due to algae treatments / overhead birch ? Trees.

Surface is near new, some blemishes seen; common with age. Approx age 12-48 months. The only area of some very minor concern is the deep end top step, some minor check cracking due to its close proximity to the sun / magnification of water (less than 6 inches deep). Other wise blemish free is virtually seen. Note there was consistent landscape material on the bottom of the pool and top, making stain / blemish identification 10-25% more challenging (no bottom cleaner present).

I am also VERY surprised to not see updated main drains to VGBA compliant, which illustrates that whomever was contracted may have not been a contractor / or explicitly was approved not to (by home owner at the time) as VGBA compliance is minimum and saved likely 1- 3k on re plastering costs.

Which all leads me to believe they did a “quick” or “fast” plaster where they later plaster over existing plaster - which is often a 15 year surface vs one coat over original gunite up to 30+ years.

Minor concrete issues seen north east side of pool decking.

The waterline tiles are all like new without major issues seen.

The skimmer throat is a little “sloppy” on its connection but nothing seen was outside boundaries (west side closest to issue) - still I am surprised they didn’t replace the skimmer but that likely saved ($3500+) off the re plastering service - therefore the lowest cost was obviously the main focus on recent services.

Recommend cya adjustment , and adjusting ph and alkalinity ($100+).

Otherwise without issue.

The covers are up to date but the drain mechanisms themselves are not VGBA compliant. Recommend at next re plaster to re do these with channel low profile main drain ($1k+) (especially if overhead trees are removed) or a better bottom cleaner is installed (Polaris 280/3900).

The skimmer is original (30 years+) and should be updated at next re plaster no matter what ($1500-3500+) as significant chlorine abuse present.

Currently the skimmer is due to have updated float, o ring , basket weighted, new weir door current one is junk / blocked, and lid ($600).

Recommend a Polaris 280/3900 as options of plug and play cleaners.

Leaking during use, recommend service to resolve ($125-250+).

Very Filled with water. Recommend disconnecting from power ($125) or replacing the light can with new ($450+) and install $400+

Note this appears to be the smaller 8” old old niche and light therefore replacement options are minimal.

Older filter, heavily sun worn, older than 20-30 years top. Recommend service to the filter elements and o ring set due to leaks being seen and higher pressure / old pressure gauge - I would expect $200 o ring set, pressure gauge $50, new elements soon if not replaced in the past 12-48 months ($500) + service $200.

A new sand filter in this backyard would make more sense at approx the same cost to just update this filter with new working parts (as filter may not be working now due to mass amounts of small debris present in the pool).

This pump is likely split at its return connection and a complete replacement is recommended ($750-2800). Ideally a Superflo Vs $1400 + install $700 is my recommendation based on pipe size. But the Pentair i3 ($1600-2200) with relay module would make this a fully automated system via app.

Working without issue. Its suction side connection is using a hose connection ? Which it should not, recommend correcting ($200+).

The board and timer are of poor quality / due to be updated at the very least GFCI and a sub panel ($650 minimum but to do it A+ expect a cost of $850-1050+) but if using a Pentair I3 pump will not need additional timers ($350+).

Recommend covering from uv ($50)
