Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is 27 years old, it is in relatively good condition for its age but towards the end of its life cycle, based on water chemistry results, it does not appear to be losing water at this time, but it is nearing the end of its life cycle (last 1-10 years at best), hopefully another few years are remaining before water loss will develop.

Note there are many stains present specially rust colored stains seen throughout the pool in the deep end and the shallow end. They all appear to be surface only and not rebar related, but recommend confirming this via tests ($500 or less).

The cost to resurface with plaster a pool this size would likely run between 10,000 to 14,000.

Issues present.

On the north side of the pool, I am seeing some settling issues, which is likely one of the main sources of issue for the raised wall, I’m also seeing some settling issues around The Pool normal with age / next to a growing redwood. The cost to fill in or grind down edges around the pool, seeing in the southwest and the north side of the pool, expect the cost of 2000 or less.

To address the separation on the bond beam wall area likely a cost of 2000 or less.

As shown In valves picture 3 & 4 , skimmer throat is showing signs of major issue. 2-4k

Additional Water Quality Notes

Water quality results seem to lean towards no water loss being present / maintained water.

Auto Fill is only dribbling during the heat of the day.

Additionally CYA levels are slightly low and chlorine level levels are slightly too high, along with high alkalinity and pH … recommend less than $100 in modifications.

There is likely algae also present (pool rx seen + high chlorine) and if so, recommend less than $100 in treatments to help resolve

This is a near, New Pump, the bonding wire is not connected, and it is settled on brick.

Additionally, it sits approximately 3 feet above the pool water level / skimmer - and therefore needs a check valve, the current check valve is a non-serviceable check valve and should be updated ($500 or less).

Additionally, the bonding wire should be connected ($100)
