Pool surface is in relatively good shape for its age, considering it is less than 1 to 3 years old and in relatively good condition. One or two areas of concern: on the southeast wall of the deep end there appears to be a white calcium fissure. This is common with pools that have wet subsoil as we are seeing in this pool, which is one of the lower points of the hill neighborhoods and surrounding area. Additionally some blemishes right below the tile which may also be indicating additional issue. In the deep end it does appear to be wearing a little bit more quickly. This may have been an over acid approach during the replaster stage but likely these areas in the deep end and surrounding are worn 10 to 50% compared to the rest of the plaster in the pool. Otherwise the surface appears to be in relatively good shape. Two areas of rust blemish stains, one in the spa main drain and one in the entry on the shallow of the pool. Those likely can be treated with citric acid and removed; a service to do that would likely cost around $300 or less.

Pool tile is in overall new condition with only one or two areas of initial concern. One is on the pool to spa spillover on the south east middle most portion where there appears to be a tile that is being split through likely from pressure / settling underneath. If this is the case recommend additional attention to resolve that may include opening this area up to see the extent of the issue and/or replacing the tile via repair ($500+). Raised wall waterfall has some calcium buildup and shows signs of standard waterfall as no calcium buildup present on the backside. If used daily as it appears would expect this raised waterfall or raised wall to need service due to erosion in the next 5 to 20 years.

One additional issues seen on the skimmer throat to tile north corner, the tile is separating and showing signs of issue. It will likely require repair ($500+)

On the raised wall, where the waterfall is located, there appears to be moisture on the backside ever so slightly. This is likely common with the insulation, but note that over prolonged periods of time this will cause additional issue. One way to mitigate or limit this from being an issue is to waterproof the surrounding area of the waterfall lip Better ($500).

It is likely all rock / tile issues described are covered under warranty through the recent remodeler.

Water quality and clarity itself is very crystal clear with no algae presence apparent, but because chlorine levels are so high it is not likely that algae is able to proliferate. Lowering the chlorine down to a reasonable level between 1-5 ppm versus currently over 20-30 would be step one. If there was algae present treatments would likely cost $100-$300 to help reduce or eliminate the algae which is very common to be done at least once or twice a year, the cost being lower if done earlier in the season versus later. CYA or cyanuric acid levels are high and calcium hardness level also seems to be slightly high. These are general indicators that there is not a leak present in this pool or that it is very old water which is likely the case. Heard the auto fill running continuously which is generally a sign of water loss but very very slowly which can be common on a large surface area pool such as this on a very hot day with a light breeze as experienced now. Recommend re-checking the water chemistry to verify the chemistry results in 1 to 30 days to help confirm if water loss is present.

Due to high levels of CYA (which results may be skewed by high Chlor levels) if high cya recommend a 50% drain and re fill or cycle ($100) to re balance the water to a more ideal level.

Main drain in the pool is an updated cover but the drain itself is not VGB compliant. Unsure as to why this was not updated at time of re-plaster. The main drains in the spa may be compliant at more than 3 feet apart but still unsure as to why this wasn’t updated to a channel drain (2k+ for both) other than to avoid the extra cost. They appear to be correctly affixed covers but not ruling either of these compliant unless closer inspected.

Rec new tail , tires, and tail sponge soon ($105 or less).

Rec new float inside the auto fill / new Mp lid / and vac out service for the auto fill can ($250+).

Pool Light, is in damaged condition. Rec replacement

New light can is as low as $150 up to $1250 + install $400

Smaller 6” light can. Water present / is in damaged condition. Rec replacement

New light can is as low as $150 up to $1250 + install $400

Filter is older and original. It appears unlabeled but looks to be about the size of the Swim Clear by Hayward cartridge filter 3025. There are some filter elements here on the deck next to it with an HAY 1260 to help identify filter element replacement size. Pressure is indicating very high therefore the elements are likely due to be replaced. Replacement set with OEM style is approximately $200-$400 likely closer to $400 if OEM versus low-cost Amazon version at $200. Any pressure gauge would be around $50 liquid filled which is required. Otherwise this filter again is older relatively fair to heavy sun damage and no additional signs of water loss seen on this older filter.

Filter pump is like new and overall in good condition but this is a very low cost pump and susceptible to UV damage which we are already seeing on the display. Recommend immediate coverage of the display ideally by spray painting at the very least the plastic cover ($10) so it can block UV as this display is getting very very hot and overheating it. The pump itself is overall working with no major issues seen.

Older. Older hoses. Consider updating to hard plumbing soon ($400+) or updating the hoses before they spring a large leak vs current small leak ($200) asap.

Swimming pool heater exposed to high levels of chlorine for prolonged periods will typically have its metal chamber wear away much more quickly instead of potentially lasting twice as long if using a heater bypass during those challenging times. Currently this heater is original and appears relatively old for its age, sun exposed for large portions of its life and overall in poor / damaged condition. Do not anticipate this heater working longer than another 1 to 24 additional months even if repairs are made. Cost of a new heater complete just like this one is around $4000 plus installation of $1000. Seller informed that heater is receiving some parts soon but while that may extend the life would not expect too much more time.

Also there is a leak through the manifold indicating repalcment is the recommendation.

Breaker set due to be updated to GFCI for safety ($500+).

The return valve is recently updated and or serviced but seeing a leak at the suction port so plumbing updates are needed soon = and overall this plumbing is due to be cut out and updated now.
