Pool Surface Additional Notes

Poor visibility applications 50% reduced - The surface appears to have been re-plastered in the past 1-4 ? years is my guesstimate… overall it is in fair to poor condition i.e. check cracking , calcium fishers , this is usually a sign that it has been left with high pH for prolonged periods of time, generally, this is not consequential to the surface quality other than buildup or scale forming.

I do see some delamination scarring on the steps, especially in the Pool & Spa while it doesn’t seem to be an issue now it may be an issue in the next 1 to 10 years.

Overall, this surface does appear to be in fair condition and usable, but it should be well maintained as I feel that it is likely they re-plastered over Plaster, which is a cheaper solution and intern this surface may only last up to 15 additional years.

Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile all the way around the pool appears to be newer without any major issues seen.

The mastic above that Tile does appear to have been performed well overall, but many areas, lacking and forming gaps … it is likely in the next 1 to 5 years. This mastic will need to be redone unfortunately ($500-1k+).

Minimal to no calcium buildup seen, but the water level is high, making that difficult to identify.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The main drain in the pool and the main drain in the spa are both due to be updated for safety ($100 x 2), and should have been updated at time of re-Plaster ($500+).

These are not VGBA complaint.

The skimmer appears to be older with a smaller opening and some deterioration seen on the concrete on the face of the skimmer… it would be wise to consider replacing the skimmer at time of next re-plaster ($1500+) , but for now recommend a new weighted basket , weir , float , float o ring, lid ($500).

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Damaged, unit is in distressed shape and will need more than $250 in repair items currently, consider replacement options ($405-655+). $650
