The retractable cover appears to be in good operating condition. These covers can be rated for 200-1k pounds for up to 7-10 years. Seller mentioned that the cover Currently
has a small “hang up point” at the end (often normal + - can be adjusted) and he wanted to open and close it himself - No issue. But if of issue - likely minor adjustments may go 125-$250+

Main Pool = Ideal surface, overall in ideal condition. I only see one potential blemish / likely scratch on the lower entry step - likely of no structure issue at this time - keep an eye on it and if it grows recommend attention.

Waterfall = The surface in the waterfall area appears to be a painted / water proof surface over a rough coat in potentially damaged / nearing its expiration point - It appears to be nearing its re coating point soon (blemishes / coating loss - seen in one main area in North West corner of lowest basin ) A re coating on this waterfall complete will require removal of surface, re coating = likely would run 1500-3500+ in cost - when water loss begins then it is due - I do not see any water loss on the outside of the waterfall structure walls, so likely not due immediately but I feel confident it will be needed in 1 - 3 years or less, and high chlorine levels will accelerate wear.

Tile (Raised Waterfall Area, Auto Cover Vault, and Skimmer Throat)
In the raised waterfall area, notable white calcium formations are visible in the corners. These appear to be surface-level calcium buildup on the tile. However, if the deposits are stemming from underneath the tile (indicating potential water intrusion or mortar degradation), they would require additional attention similar to the auto cover vault area but likely 2–3 times the cost due to the larger scope and complexity. To confirm the source, recommend testing a small section by removing calcium with a pumice stone (~$100).

On the west-side auto cover vault edge, several tiles are loose on top and some are beginning to pop out at the waterline. This is likely caused by the glass tile type combined with low winter temperatures, which can cause bond failure in cold climates. It would be wisest to replace the exposed tiles in the vault area with ceramic for better longevity and reduced maintenance in freezing conditions. Estimated cost: $2,000–$4,000+ depending on material and extent.
Minor calcium buildup is present overall and can be removed if desired (~$600+), but it is not substantial and does not require immediate action.
The north skimmer throat corner shows a mild blemish, likely minor erosion rather than a major issue. This could be addressed with minor attention during other tile repairs, likely a low-cost item (~$100 or more).
Cost summary (this section only)
• Pumice stone calcium test (small section): ~$100
• Vault edge tile replacement (ceramic, west side): $2,000–$4,000+
• Overall minor calcium removal (if pursued): ~$600+
• North skimmer throat minor repair (if combined): ~$100+

Everything is right on the money, but chlorine is high yet at IntelliChem while on site it was dosing / seen ORP Low 693? = sensor may be due for service / calibrate ? Likely service cost to address $125-250+ if sensor itself is bad but likely just a dirty probe / sensor photometer end.

The water quality overall was good. Clear. Seemingly no algae present. No real issues seen.

The skimmer is missing its floats in both skimmers, this may be intentional (due to serpatly plumbed main drains) but in general having floats would assist in running air free during low water level times (maybe once in 10 years). IF deserving this a new float and float o ring on line is less than $25 x 2

The main drain cover is VGBA compliant.

None present. Recommend if desiring on going un covered pool operation = add Polaris Quattro (Amazon $1100) for superior cleaning power. Otherwise if this pool is covered, it is likely not in need of bottom cleaning unless desiring perfection, ie the Quattro added to the wall adapter can be attached and disconnected from the wall hose and all at will.

Two autofill canisters seen, neither canister could be accessed, Letro flush lid style. But the supply valve that likely supplies these two fills appears to be due for minor service ($125-250+) to re seal these connections (leaks / calcium leftover seen ? Maybe previously repaired) if leaking consider using different materials / connection bonding agents for longevity.

All 7 Pool Lights activated, all in sync.

Laminar jets also have built in LED illuminators that appeared to be working on all 8 laminars.

There are 15 in the upper basin / water fall. All were working and in sync.

I did not spot any obvious issue of failure present inside the lens bodies (I’m happy about this). I’m also happy it is all 100% “kill proof” 12v light system.

Filter
The filter is a Pentair Clean & Clear CCCP 520 cartridge model, only about 4 years old and in good overall shape.
Current pressure reads around 22 psi with the pump at ~3000 RPM on high with laminar jets running. This may simply be normal back pressure from the laminar jets rather than a dirty filter issue.
Recommend a standard quarterly cleaning soon for this larger cartridge filter to maintain performance: ~$105.
Upgrade the pressure gauge to a liquid-filled version for better accuracy and readability (personal preference/recommendation, not required): ~$50.
Cartridge elements likely due for replacement in the next 1–5 years: $200+

No other issues observed at this time.

Cost summary (this section only)
• Quarterly filter cleaning: ~$105
• Liquid-filled pressure gauge upgrade: ~$50
• Cartridge element replacement (in 1–5 years): $200+

There are two filter pumps both same model.

No major issue seen with either.

Bonded, and both due for minor lube of lid o ring / new lid o ring (west) soon ($25+ x2).

In general like new almost un used / currenlty not programmed for use. Also seen signs of previous return connection repair / water loss = appears repaired and without issues. If any leak returns the return condition leak repair is likely less than $100.

We will classify the second filter pump as waterfall that flows water to the sphere feature. Without issue. Runs low speed most of its life, in nearly perfect shape, no visible issues present (aka no chlorine abuse seen in basket). Some air seen in basket and should see some minor attention ($25+) detailed in filter pump section.

Working with out issue, showing some signs of normal wear, seemingly original (4 yrs old) 2x tanks and, nearing some minor standard parts updates soon ie 1 dosing motor soon, screws / tubing / venting / lid o rings / etc in the next 1-5 years ($300+).

Non leaking - without issue.

But one motor is nearing failure point (west-sounding rough) while the other motor (east) on site is sounding much better.

Online has this for $300 + $300 in labor is likely the cost to get this back to ideal.

Without issue. Heats efficiently.

Ideal GFCI. Without issue.

Minor screen glitch (may be covered under warranty to have display replaced) as there is a single line 60% up that is erroring out causing some minor screen “glitch line” to show. Otherwise the touch screen is working without issue normally with no signs of impairment from this screen issue.

UV Light - working Without issue.

All without issue. No signs of wear or waterloss.
