Pool & Spa Surface (Plaster)
The plaster surface can only be seen clearly from about 2 to 4 feet deep due to very cloudy water (more than 70% cloudy). The top step, entry steps, and shallow end are visible, but the deep end of the pool is almost non-visible, and the spa is only about 50% visible.
What I can see shows older plaster, likely 15–28 years old. There are pits present throughout, indicating the surface is in the last 10% of its life cycle. I do not see any substantial large cracks at this time.
The pitting may only be on the top layer of plaster, with a darker lower layer underneath. This is common when a new plaster layer was applied over old plaster — that method typically lasts only up to 15 years. Delaminating cracks are visible on the top entry step of the spa, along with pits everywhere.
If water loss develops, this surface condition would likely be the first cause.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Full replaster of pool & spa (when needed): $10,000–$14,000 (estimated for this size)
Let me know the next section when you’re ready.

Waterline Tile
The waterline tile in the pool and spa is due for updating in most areas. Mortar is beginning to fail or is already missing in several spots.
This is most noticeable at the spa spillover, inside the spa, on the south end of the pool, and inside the skimmer throat (especially at the edge of the throat tile). I could not fully inspect the entire skimmer throat due to the high water level.
Updating the mortar and addressing the tile issues (including the spillover) will likely run between $1,500 and $3,000 or more.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Mortar repair and tile work (including spillover): $1,500–$3,000+
Ready for the next section.

Coping and Decking
The coping and decking around the pool & spa are in relatively fair condition overall.
One or two minor issues were noted:
• On the north side edge of the pool decking there is a small cosmetic gap that can be filled if desired. Doing this at the same time as other mortar work would add less than $100 in extra labor or cost.
• In some areas there is a gap between the concrete and the tile where the plastic water stop is currently installed. This should be removed and updated with new mastic. Estimated cost: $1,500 or less.
Cost summary (this section only)
• North side decking cosmetic fill (if combined with other work): <$100 extra
• Remove old water stop and apply new mastic: $1,500 or less

Water Quality
The water quality is currently damaged. There is no chlorine present. pH and alkalinity are slightly high. Cyanuric acid (stabilizer) appears to be absent or extremely low, and calcium hardness is also low.
It will likely take $200 to $300 in chemicals to bring the pool back up to ideal, balanced condition.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Chemical balancing and restoration: $200–$300

Main Drains
The main drains in the pool and spa are likely due for updating due to age and condition.
I see two drain covers in the spa and two on the wall in the pool. There may be additional covers in the deep end of the pool (I could not see that area clearly), so we’ll assume a total of four to six covers.
All of them should be updated for safety. Cost is around $100 each installed, for a total of approximately $600.
At the time of replastering, it would be very wise to upgrade these to channel (flat) drains and/or increase the size to allow for higher flow. This is easily done during plastering and improves bottom cleaner performance.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Update all main drain covers (est. 4–6): ~$600
• Channel drain upgrades at replaster: additional cost (not separately estimated, but typically included in resurfacing scope)

Skimmer
The skimmer is due for component updates, including a new weir door, lid, float, and float O-ring.
Estimated cost for parts and installation: around $400.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Skimmer parts update (weir door, lid, float, O-ring): ~$400

The current unit has likely been in a green pool, recommend service to this unit along with some parts that are due to be updated ($200+) or a new cleaner may be best ($650+)

Recommend service to resolve both issues ;

Leaky Fill Valve
125-250+

Missing Float Re Installation
$125+

Pool Light
The pool light has water present inside the lens, condensation is clearly visible, and the light shuts off every few minutes.
It is a standard 10-inch light.
Recommend updating/replacing it for safety and reliability.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Pool light replacement + installation: ~$800–$1,100 (typical range for a comparable 10-inch unit)

Spa Light
The spa light is a smaller 6-inch fixture.
It has the same issues as the pool light: water present inside the lens, visible condensation, and it shuts off every few minutes.
Recommend updating/replacing it for safety and reliability.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Spa light replacement + installation: ~$700–$1,000 (typical range for a comparable 6-inch unit)

Recommend Attention to pressure gauge / cover / likely elements ($500+) soon to bring back to ideal working conditions.

Currently this older filter is leak free without major issue seen, except that the pool is not clean and may be a result of using dirty elements with new fresh water. Recommend service ($150) to confirm.

Filter Pump
The filter pump is in surprisingly good shape for its age (approximately 13–14 years old), considering it has been in direct sunlight for most of its life.
The only notable issue is that the screen on the back is expired and has completely failed. This pump is obsolete, so replacement parts are not easily available. Used parts can sometimes be found for $400–$700, but at that price point it is usually better to get a whole new pump ($1,000–$1,500 for a comparable unit).
The pump is connected to its panel through a common wire, so the failed panel on the pump itself is not necessarily needed. With proper protection from the sun (UV cover) and basic service, this pump likely has at least 10 years of remaining life — potentially 20 years or more.
The pump basket is breaking (similar to the spa jet pump) and should be updated along with the lid O-ring. This minor service should cost less than $50.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Pump basket + lid O-ring service: <$50
• Full new pump (if/when needed): $1,000–$1,500
Let me know the next section.

Spa Jet Pump
The spa jet pump is an older Jandy Stealth model in relatively poor and damaged condition.
The pump basket is disintegrating inside the pump. I did turn it on to test it — it does turn on and operate. However, I did not want to run water through it because the decomposing basket pieces could get caught in the impeller and cause additional damage.
To properly test and restore function, it would be wise to update the pump basket and lid O-ring. This minor service (including parts) should cost less than $150. After this, the pump would likely work fine for another 1–10 years since it is hardly used. It has a lot of surface blemishes but sounds workable and likely has remaining life once the minor service is performed.
When this pump eventually expires, a replacement jet pump of this type would cost $1,500–$2,500 installed, depending on size and horsepower.
Note: The spa suction intake area likely does not have enough supply for a separate dedicated jet pump. Therefore, replacing it with another dedicated jet pump is not recommended, as it would exceed safe suction levels.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Pump basket + lid O-ring service (parts + labor): <$150
• Future full jet pump replacement (if pursued): $1,500–$2,500 (not recommended due to suction limitations)

Board and Timer
The board and timer is a very nice panel that appears to be in good overall condition.
The only issues are bugs, spiderwebs, and other inhabitants inside and around the panel area. Recommend cleaning the panel and removing the bugs for less than $100 in service to help prolong its life. There may be more issues behind the scenes that we cannot see, but what is visible is a relatively good working panel with limited problems.
It has wireless remote capability (or at least the potential for it). If the remote is missing, consider upgrading to a ScreenLogic system (~$600) for phone connectivity instead of replacing it with a basic remote ($300–$500).
The only thing needed at this time is updating the breakers to GFCI for safety, including a GFCI plug breaker, a GFCI pool light breaker, and a variable-speed Siemens breaker for the pump. This will likely run around $300 in parts and $350 for an electrician to install.
Cost summary (this section only)
• Panel cleaning and bug removal: <$100
• GFCI breaker upgrade + electrician installation: ~$650
• ScreenLogic upgrade (optional, if remote is missing): ~$600
• Basic remote replacement (alternative): $300–$500

Valving
The valving is all original and likely older than 20 years. It is in heavy sun exposure. No obvious leaks are visible right now, but I guarantee leaks and the need to update valve guts, check valves, and old connections will appear within the next 1–3 years.
It would be wiser to get it all done and out of the way at once. This includes covering the pad with 95–99% UV-blocking mesh ($50 from Amazon), repainting, and re-labeling ($300).
I would recommend cutting out and updating everything, especially if you are also considering removing the spa jet pump. That way you could connect its auxiliary lines directly to the filter pump for optimized flow using just one pump.
Estimated cost for the full update (new valves, plumbing modifications, check valves, heater bypass if desired, etc.): $1,500–$2,500 depending on options.
Cost summary (this section only)
• UV mesh: ~$50
• Repaint and re-label: ~$300
• Full valving and plumbing update: $1,500–$2,500
