The pebble plaster surface overall the pebble appears to be in good to fair condition overall no major wear or issues seen in the main pool area but note that there is a lot of leaf and dust debris in the pool making issue identification more challenging but again no notable major issues seen. The only area of potential issues seen is in the spa. The spa has two areas of rust and or rebar issues. Recommend service to confirm if these are actual rebar issues which will be a $300 or less service call to check these issues and treat them but the true repair would likely be cutting these out and doing a repair if they are rebar related likely a $1000 to $2000 correction cost and it would not color match therefore it would be best to just replaster the entire spa if these turned out to be rebar issues.
Estimated cost grouping: Service to confirm $300 or less plus potential rebar repair $1000-2000 or full spa replaster.

The waterline tile all appears to be in roughly the same condition there appears to potentially be a slight layer of calcium buildup present on this waterline tile but nothing too substantial yet even inside the skimmer throat does appear to be in good condition overall it does have a pretty fat seam between the skimmer and the tile with mortar but nothing apparent as of this moment. I would expect to reseal this in the next 5 to 10 years in this connection if not sooner at less than $500 when the time is due. Otherwise the areas of general concern seem to be on the spa raised outside area. It seems as if there are several blemishes and cracks around the entire spa potentially two or three on the northside one on the east side one fairly substantial one on the south side and some areas of water migration seen on the spillover west side because I am not currently seeing any cracks forming inside the spa. I would assume that this is likely related to outside issues versus inside the spa but I do see what appears to be a rebar stain potential on the step on the south side of the spa therefore recommend additional test to confirm which will be detailed in the surface section still to repair the outside tile that is affected only because we cannot see what’s underneath the tile which should be looked at once the repairs begin but to repair just the affected tiles only expected cost of $1000 to $2000 for the outside specialty stone style tile. Next is the spa spillover which is obviously of issue and will need some attention. This loan will likely be between $1000 and $2000 to update and repair the spillover section especially is showing signs of issue and will need to be re-waterproofed ASAP. Also note on the spa seat tile mostly seen on the north side we have some somewhere between the tiles which is fairly unusual this early in a pool’s life but it may be a high chlorine pool thanks to the salt.

Estimated cost grouping: Waterline reseal (when due / water loss seen) less than $500

The spa outside tile repair $1000-2000 plus spillover repair $1000-2000.

The water quality and the running auto fill indicate that water loss or new water is likely present, this can be confirmed by testing the salt level and recheck water chemistry in one to 30 days to confirm. Right now the chlorine is very very high indicating that there is likely an algae bloom that this is trying to suppress. Recommend algae treatments for less than $375 to treat the dissolved organic matter out of this water this would also likely include adding CYA which currently it appears to be very low and balancing the water chemistry.
Estimated cost grouping: Algae treatments less than $375.

The circulation in this pool is a slight challenge with three eyeball returns in the bottom of the pool, one in the large shallow step on both shallow Baja shelf steps for a total of five returns. Only this is likely why they may be pushing half of that water to the spa during a spill over each day. Still they all appear to be in good condition heads. The main drains which there are four in the pool and three in the spa all appear to be VGB compliant except for in the spa there is one main drain cover that may be closer than 3 feet recommend confirming via service for safety ($100 or less). Also the skimmer appears to need minor updates to its parts which will consist of a weighted skimmer basket ($50) otherwise all other parts are present.
Estimated cost grouping: Main drain confirmation $100 or less plus skimmer basket $50.

Working, recommend minor tail, swivels added, and minor adjustments ($105 or less)

There are five pool lights in the pool three of them are nearly expired and one is already expired. Note that each light cost approximately $650 plus installation of around $400 each. It appears two are obviously near due for replacement a third one is likely near due for replacement so a total of three I would estimate now.
Estimated cost grouping: 3 pool lights $650x3 + $400x3 install.

The spa is using the same style lights. It appears there is only one light in the spa and it has expired. Recommend replacement with cost of approximately $650 per light plus $400 installation.
Estimated cost grouping: Spa light replacement $650 + $400 install.

The filter itself is in relatively fair condition. It is due to have its elements serviced for less than $150 and likely the elements replaced if they haven’t been replaced in the past 2 to 5 years at the cost of around $300-$500. Also at time of service recommend updating the pressure gauge to a liquid filled pressure gauge otherwise no other issues seen except for a leaky drain plug. Recommend service to investigate this issue likely less than $50 extra to service and repair.
Estimated cost grouping: Elements service $150 or replacement $300-500 plus drain plug $50 plus pressure gauge.

No issues. Working.

Rec minor service to pump basket / lid o ring ($50 or less) - due to minor air bubble seen.

No issues seen,

Rec minor service to pump basket / lid o ring ($50 or less) - due to minor air bubble seen

Working. No air bubble.

Working but leaking at presumably the union seen, recommend service to confirm ($150) also recommend minor paint service to gas line ($50).

The board and timer is in good condition. It is an IntelliCenter Pool & Spa. All the breakers are Siemens variable speed breakers which is ideal. I just don’t have a working plug breaker. It’s not tripping or resetting indicating it is due for updates less than $50 for the plug in less than $150 for an electrician to service it otherwise there are no additional issues on this panel.
Estimated cost grouping: Plug breaker $50 plus electrician $150.

Working a little too well, turn down output asap ($20) otherwise this cell is nearing its age limit = new cell soon $950+

All working. No leaks. Recommend painting and labeling and covering from the sun using a uv mesh asap ($300 or less).
