Pitting seen in the shallow end steps, and check cracking / scratches seen throughout.

Re plaster is nearly due 10-14k+

Water loss indicators would be the final sign of replaster being required, some of those signs are present now (no CYA) but ideal Cal Hardness = therefore not 100% confirmed, re testing in 1 - 30 days will assist in confirming one way or the other. Still looking at the overall age and condition of this plaster, I would deem it required in the next 1 - 24 months.

The waterline tile has significant mortar wear, and splitting on the west side of the pool (this area alone will require some attention , estimate more accurate when opened, but approx $2-3k to address). At the same time of this work the coping stones should be re secured, many are loose and ready to pop off ($2-3k).

Also the skimmer throat, which would be updated at the next re plaster / skimmer repalcement stage should be re sealed as its current seal is older and due / cracking ($500+).

Also the tile is due to be updated soon due to low mortar / obsolete tile = $1500 - 2500 to re tile this pool

No major algae seen. But due for chemistry adjustment ($100+) = raise cya, Chlor, ph and alk slightly

Main drain is not VGBA complaint and could be at time of re plaster for approx $1500+

Now we can at least update the cover for a temporary safer repair ($200) but still not complaint.

The skimmer is old, very old, and should be cut out and replaced at the next re plaster stage (2-3k) - in the mean time there is no updates needed that can be seen.

The cleaner is newer, but due for minor updates = tail, and tires soon / bag ($100 or less).

Leaking during use , recommend repair = repairs may be closer to $500 or less but as low as 250 or less.

It appears the light is newer, but rust seen and therefore due to be updated = a new light can is as low as $150 (looks like this one) and up to $1250 + install $400

The filter is likely the newest piece of equipment (approx 5-10 years) so there is likely more life left. Still it is due for service with pressure slightly high

Recommend service ($150) to the filter element which may show you that the element is due for replacement ($400+) and minor service to the tank o ring set is likely due ($200) as well as a new liquid filled pressure gauge ($50).

It appears the filter pump is running VERY hot, showing that the motor bearings are nearing expiration. Therefore replacing is likely the most efficient option soon.

Low cost Amazon pumps for $400 or high quality Pentair Superflo Vs for $1300 = both options work well + install labor $850

Note this is a 1.5” pipe connection , and therefore this current pump may be over working itself due to the restricted flow. Either way updates needed soon.

Newer booster for the bottom cleaner , working. I would recommend updating the booster hoses to hard plumbing to avoid leaks ($600).

The light switch appears to potentially be functional (if the light itself worked?) but it could also just be this very old likely water damaged switch.

The two yellow dial timer clocks are older but appears to be working, still these should be updated for several reasons

1. The timer boxes are on an extended pole that appears to be “wobbly” and ready to fall over not now or soon but in the near future / or with minor assistance.

2. The light switches and plugs etc around the panel are all older and heavily corroded and likely of issue

The solution to all of this is to simply remove all, add a dual unistrut base ($300) with a new dual timer sub panel box ($400) with new updated GFCI breakers ($400) and an electrician to do this work ($500) = to bring this all up to 2026 standard. As it stands now this is all original and all due to be updated for safety.

The pad is protected by an assortment of plant life, which has helped prolong the life of the equipment, but more ideally one would use a $50 UV 95-99% mesh from Amazon instead.

The pad is all plastic while it appears some past plumbing and or vacated gas lines was metal /copper.

These lines above ground appear working without leaks, but difficult to tell due to the heavy plant life present.

Recommend re painting and labeling the pad ($100) as well as the UV mesh ($50).
