Pool Surface Additional Notes

Blemishes present throughout. Original plaster 79, this may have lasted from 2000-2010, then this plaster may be 15-26 years old, which appears to likely be the case, and the plaster has several issues; rust stains, Fischers, and south west corner has a likely structure crack expanding, making this a need for attn right away likely due to potential water loss status.

Repair to crack forming is a variable as you will only fully know how deep the issue goes once opening up the area for repair. A range would run 2-5k+ to repair this area.

The remaining plaster likely doesn’t have too much more life left but some, and the crack could be patched (as it was currently 1/2 already) and prolong the remaining plaster life.

Overall damaged condition. Recommend patch ($100) for now and stain treatments / stain ident ($400) treatments to confirm rust stain issues

Due for updates , water / condensation present. New can is $200-1250 + labor $400

- update = initially it appears that condensation is present but when on I see little sign of this. Likely the lens has organics on top and causing a false positive result. Still keep an eye on this / closer look to confirm. I’m leaning toward of issue.

Overall Details

Recommend minor plumbing updates as described in report + uv mesh + re paint and re label ($200 or less).



No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
