Pool Surface Additional Notes

The pool likely a salt pool at one time, which can be confirmed with the mottling present, and blemishes seen more in the spa than the pool. Overall, since the salt has been removed, I would anticipate the majority of the surface to last 10 to 25 more years of life. Overall, I do see scratches present and approximately 20 to 50% of the surface has algae buildup present, making issue, identification more challenging.

Additional Tile Notes

It would be wise to address the waterfall now ($2k+) re mortaring and resealing, and in the next 1 to 10 years, addressing the spa spill over with re sealing ($500+).

There is also some calcium buildup present, on the Spa spill over and on the east side of the pool tile water line that could be removed if desired ($450+).

On both skimmers I’m seeing some gaps present / issues developing (hollow sounds near skimmer edges) - the north skimmer face there is some wear / cracking developing. Likely related to an additional issue present (wall past it north seeing settling).

The south skimmer has some gaps forming on its east side.

Both skimmers may require re sealing soon ($1k+) and ideally would be done at water fall re mortaring service.

Algae present? Foliage found in water? Water loss present?
Yes, Light Algae was found In Shade or Corners of Pool, 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

There is algae present in the pool, even though the chlorine level is very very very high. I would expect treatment treatments to resolve the organic matter present ($275+).

Chemistry results are skewed due to abnormal high level of chlorine - and therefore cannot be fully / correctly assessed.

The furthest pool light is likely 100 feet from the junction box, that light is currently not working. The other two lights have water and condensation present inside the light lens. The southmost light appears to be the newest, while the West light appears to be the oldest. All three lights are likely due to be updated due to condensation being present ($600+ install $400 each x3).

Working. It sounds like it’s bearings are due for service ($450+) also it’s o rings set are due to be serviced ($300+). Note the motor shows signs of age and sun abuse. I would not anticipate this motor to last longer than 1-24 months.

A new variable motor installed is $1500 vs a whole new variable pump at $1200+

Overall Details

Recommend painting and labeling as well as protecting from the sun using a UV mesh ($400).



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
Good
Notes

Working , no obvious leaks , rain present, but in 5-15 years = 5x 3 way valves , and soon 1 check valve will likely need service ($300+) or rebuild ($700+).
