Pool Surface Additional Notes

Major structure issues present, impossible to confirm extent until opened up and confirm cause of said issue that resulted in the cracking present in the entire shallow end section.

A general cost estimate may run 10-30k+

This is an issue that is long overdue likely 10 or more years overdue. It needs to be corrected ASAP via structural modifications and not topical band aids.

The waterline tile is near new.

The concrete coping border also appears new, but we are seeing movement between coping and concrete which has been grinded and sealed once before, and may require it soon ($1k-2k+).

The skimmer has cracking seen around the skimmer top, which may eventually require sealing / attention.

Additional Water Quality Notes

Due to auto fill running constantly (likely just set too high) I would expect a leak to be present due to the structure issues seen, but judging only by water chemistry it seems to have been potentially water tight at this time, or it could just be maintained with chemicals and skewing the result.

Still recommend approx $50 in chemical or less to properly balance.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The main drain present appears to have been updated to a VGBA compliant cover.

The skimmer basket was stuck in the skimmer. It will need simple tools to remove.

I feel safe in recommending a new skimmer basket, float, and float o ring ($150).

I’m both sides of the skimmer throat tile there is gaps present likely at time of construction it was never filled in, and ideally should be.

Filter Pump Additional Notes

This pump is working. It is approximately 10 years old. I am noticing that there is a significant amount of organic matter present around the Pump. This should all be cleared for better leak identification. I did find out the pump was running its schedule and I turned it on manually, after I turned it on, I tried to then turn it off an hour later, and it would not respond to my commands … it may be a simple programming issue where a reset would occur, or a sign of drive failure soon (least likely).
