Pool Surface Additional Notes

Without major issues seen, some cracks forming on the outter rim area, common with age, but no notable blemishes in the water area. Note 1/4 of the pool was covered during the inspection but only one unusual device? Seen on the east wall under the covers edge.

Note I am seeing the chlorine levels being very high potentially effecting the air inlets, and light fixtures / anything touching the pool due to salt conditions. Overall it would be wise to consider removing the salt conditions if possible to help prolong the life of all connected devices and equipment.

Overall Details

There is a lot of moisture on the pool equipment pad - seemingly coming from one or two locations, one is around the filter, the other around the west side closest to the pool valves. Much of this Valving has been updated, but I am seeing the blue glue on most of the older plumbing closest to the wall that is likely due for updating soon / due to water loss and condition ($1-2k). Salt conditions are also accelerating inherent issue here. Especially considering there is a stainless steel manifold system being routed underneath the pool / spool shell.
