The surface is plaster in relatively good condition for its age. I do see some semi common calcium fissures especially in the northeast deep end but otherwise surface looks blemish free common for plaster that is one to two years old. Some scratches and what not present here and there but overall in good condition.

Without issue seen.

The only area of minor concern is for safety at the waterfall. Some of the rocks are loose and will cause a trip hazard, recommend remodeling some of these tile tiles and re-waterproofing if applicable ($500 or less).

The free chlorine is zero total chlorine is between a one and a three a calcium hardness level appears to be between 200 to 450 the signer acid appears to be less than 20 and the pH and alkalinity appeared to be slightly elevated but nearly ideal. I would start by increasing signer acid CYA less than $50 worth I would slightly increase chlorine. I would also do algicide treatments starting with nonmetal versions first while simultaneously removing phosphates from the water all of those treatments less than $200. I would conclude by adding enzymes and potentially slightly increasing calcium hardness levels if applicable based on LSI.

Estimated cost grouping: CYA $50 plus algae treatments less than $200.

Note water loss is not confirmed with low CYA - recommend re testing in 1-30 days to help confirm.

The skimmers are original from the original installation so they are older and heavily iron and or chlorine damaged. Likely at the next re-plaster stage these should be updated. Note that you can see where the plastic is splitting at the top of the collar or the concrete and the skimmer inside the skimmer essentially connect. This is common with age. Both skimmers have considerable amounts of staining. Both skimmers do have all parts present but some of them should be updated including the floats the float rings and one skimmer lid less than $300 installed.
Estimated cost grouping: Skimmer parts update less than $300. Future re-plaster replacement.

Main drains are new and appear to be VGBA compliant

The bottom cleaner is next it is definitely older. It will need new tires a new tail likely some new hose swivels and potentially some new hoses soon less than $200 in parts. Note that a new cleaner is less than $600. This cleaner unit is likely between 5 to 10 years old.
Estimated cost grouping: Bottom cleaner parts less than $200 or new unit less than $600.

Both pool lights turn on and function without issue, the seller told me the light cans were recently updated at a time of RePlaster. Recommend cleaning behind the pool Iight cans ($20) otherwise without issue seen.

It’s a Jandy CL 580 cartridge filter does appear to be original. It looks like it’s around 25 years old or slightly older does appear to have moisture seen coming at the bottom of the filter itself does not appear to be emanating from any gasket or seal located above the filter which may be an indicator that there is a drain plug O-ring potentially underneath the filter that is due for service if so less than $50 service call but if the lower half of this filter is getting towards the end of its lifecycle and a leak is developing than the lower half section may cost $450 to $650 installed. Additionally the tank band is 100% tightened which is also indicated that the band itself is towards the end of its life cycle approximately $250 to $350 to replace the band and the pressure gauge window could just simply be removed otherwise a new air bleed assembly or just the gauge itself is less than $50. Also recommend service to the filter elements sooner than later we are currently at 12 psi where the pump is running at 2800 RPMs generally indicating that the filter is slightly dirty and due for its quarterly filter cleaning soon at that time you would confirm if the filter elements are due to be replaced at the cost of around $200 up to $500 depending on quality. Note that this filter is fairly old and it would be wiser to consider a replacement with a star 35,000 cartridge filter as an example as a cost of around $850 plus install.

Estimated cost grouping: Drain plug O-ring less than $50 or lower half $450-650 plus band $250-350 plus gauge $50 plus elements $200-500 or new filter $850 plus install.

The filter pump is an Intelliflo or similar right in good working condition. The only issue I see is that the pump O-ring is likely due for minor service as I am seeing some air in the pump basket less than $20 and a future issue will be the return union which appears to have blue glue being used while it is not leaking now it will likely have issue in the next 1 to 10 years at less than a $200 repair. Otherwise this is a like new pump and ideal working condition with no visible signs of any issues other than the air in the pump basket which another optional update would be to add a suction side check valve on the filter pump less than $400 installed.

Estimated cost grouping: Pump O-ring service less than $20 plus future return union $200 plus optional check valve less than $400.

GFCI Variable speed breaker, Siemens and GFCI pool light breaker are both due to be optional updated, for safety to bring to 2026 standard ($150 parts electrician labor $200+)

The equipment present appears to all be original. No leaks, one valve near leaking, all due for service / updates soon. The return or water feature valve appears to have been serviced but potentially nearing recommended reservice date soon if water loss begins to occur at less than $150. Additionally the cleaner pressure gauge and elbow ideally could be updated to the correct fitting at less than $150 to prevent eventual water loss and the other cleaner three-way valve could also be serviced if desired for less than $150 not required but recommended. Also recommend repainting and re-labeling this equipment pad for less than $200 and also putting UV mesh over the top of all equipment less than $50 using a 95 to 99% UV mesh.

Estimated cost grouping: Valve reservice $150 plus cleaner pressure gauge new plumbing fittings $150 plus three-way valve $150 plus pad repaint/relabel $200 plus UV mesh $50.
