Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is aging more than 15-25 years old.

I am seeing check cracking in the steps of the pool and very minor on the seat of the Spa.

Overall, it is likely more than 50% worn.

When water loss occurs the cost to have a re Plaster company re-plaster a pool. This size would be 6 to 8000 in the winter or 10 to 12,000 in the summer.

Additional Tile Notes

Waterline tile is in aged condition, I’m beginning to see issues develop on the Spa bill over and inside the skimmer throat. Both will likely need some attention soon, $2500 or less.

Note spa spillover north side has the most hollow sounding.

Skimmer throat connection is in question.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality is poor with chlorine levels very very high, but water clarity is very good, I would recommend adjusting the chemistry and recheck to confirm water quality results, as high chlorine levels will skew results sometimes greatly

Currently water loss status in water chemistry results is found but again recommend retesting in 1 to 30 days to help confirm.

Likely high chlorine levels are hiding algae that is present, if so treatments likely 205 or less.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Recommend checking the Pool & Spa for VGBA code compliance. It looks like the spa is very close in the pool. Also may be close ($100 or less).

The skimmer does have all parts present, but recommend new skimmer lid as well as new auto fill lid ($100 or less)

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Poor $300

Cleaner #1 Cleaner #2
Bottom Cleaner Brand Bottom Cleaner Model
Zodiac Mx Suction
Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

This unit requires a lot of maintenance which includes relatively expensive hose connections that are approximately $25 apiece. They are currently six here and they are required to be replaced every two years or so plus the bottom cleaner unit looks like it’s in a recently rebuilt state which is good, but I would estimate that it’s going to also require maintenance in the next year or less with some new treads at the very least which may be around $70.

Recommend attn soon.

Motor is in poor shape, and pump is overall as well.

Overall Details

Original valve approximately 25 years old, all due to be serviced.

Also recommend re painting equipment pad, and relabeling $200 or less.

Also covering from UV mesh ($100)



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.
