The fencing is around the pool, appears to be in original condition. No major issues seen, but was not tested as the seller had the fence setup for open access during the inspection appt.

No major blemishes seen - there is some signs of issue with the under water tile / putty point, in the pre cast tile groove, allowing organics to grow more easily inside this gap. Recommend filling in these gaps with new waterproof putty (silicone) soon at least for a temp repair ($500-1K or less) with water in the pool, which often is safer for the pool surface in general.

Most notably seen around tile mosaics on the pool bottom.

If doing this updating / repair when drained consider doing it in times of summer vs winter to help avoid the shell moving or floating.

Note the pool seems to potentially have settled slightly, as it’s likely on a hillside / filled packed dirt lot.

Original tile, around the pool in some locations we are seeing movement / gaps formed - recommend repairing / re filling these areas soon to avoid excess wear - $1K or less -

Note some of the coping stones also appear to have gaps present and could cause the stone to become free and a hazard for safety - rec attn for safety = 1K+

Note the tile is laid over the top of the surface as purely decoration, appears to be overall ideal with some minor signs of wear,

Also around the skimmer we are seeing some settling / excess wear - this likely will require some attn - this is likely due to high water level like I saw at time of the inspection - and should be cleaned up / sealed - filled in with minor mortar to resolve ($500+)

Additionally I do see on the east side of the pool some settling likely from water loss at water fall plumbing / connections, this area needs temp repairs for safety / trip hazards (1K+) but may run up to 2-5K+ if leaks are present under the concrete path way - and if desiring to use the water fall correctly will require repair. Note the waterfalls were not able to be turned on due to the pump not priming so a full check was not possible - but my estimates are the likely cost to correct these potential and likely issues.

The water quality is poor, low in ALK and CYA -due for modification asap ($100 or less)

Note prolonged periods of low ph and alk create a corrosive environment - which is likely present seen with obvoious long term water loss on the pool equipment = pumps and heater

Recommend modification asap

Note water loss could not be confirmed at this time, but near zero / low CYA (which we have here) is one sign of water loss being present.

The skimmer is functioning, recommend minor parts updates = lid / float / float o ring ($200 or less)

The main drain covers are due to be updated for safety due to age (200 x 2) - note these covers are relatively difficult to find / source - so recommend reaching out to MFG if possible for lowest cost replacement / riding the exact cover on amazon etc

In floor cleaning present, the pop ups x 2 and gearing system seem to also be due for service as one head does not go down when off and gearing system doesnt seem to be functioning as normal.

Less than 1500 to update both heads and gearing system - including labor

The pool light is an older Fiber Optic illuminator tower connected to a fiber end lens.

Today we can easily change this to LED emitter ($200-600+) + a power center ($200+) + controller ($500+) + labor ($400+).

Vs trying to repair this older illuminator tower…. Which is obsolete but new version of this exist - they just have a high power consumption

This filter is in poor overall condition, the filter is heavily sun exposed and due to be serviced now =

Service $150+
Elements (likely) $500
New Gauge / Assembly ($50)
Likely new o ring set ($100 or less)

Vs a new filter complete like the Aquastar PLF 35000 is a much better value at $850 total for the new filter option.

It appears that this pumps motor / capacitor has had issues in the past ?

The pump union may be the only issue present, leaking, making other issue ident difficult ... but if this pump is also leaking from its shaft seal and or seal plate = $500+

If the pump motor is compromised and due for updates = $1k-2k+ + install $800+

Recommend service to confirm issues ($300+)

Older original non priming pump = the pump itself is likely due to be replaced due to obsolete parts / status if there is water loss at seal plate / etc but if only pump lid o ring service = great.

Recommend suction side check valve as well ($100 or less with other work).

Note = Replacement pump is $1-2k+ install $800

Note this pump can be bypassed and allow the single filter pump to function all items for this pump instead, likely best choice for value and quality overall - especially if updating the filter pump to a higher quality pump ie the Pentair i3 1.5 or 3hp pumps

That plumbing modification would likely run $500-1K or less.

Vs repairs = $? 300-1K+ or less

Working, turns on, functions, but likely of issue due to past leaks seen present, rust seen inside the heater itself, and overall poor condition seen.

At minimum install the proper drip leg, re paint the gas line, and add a check valve between the heater and chlorinator ($1k or less) to help prolong the heaters remaining life = will be needed on next heater anyways.

The heater should run another 1 - 24 months without issue but likely no longer than that.

Heater cost is approx $4-6K for the unit + install 1K+

Ideal timer, older original breakers, plug outlet of issue.

For Safety = Ideally, upgrade for safety to GFCI = $600 parts + electricians labor $400

Otherwise this timer is in original working condition with plug breaker due to be updated ($100)

Recommend addressing the plumbing issues outlined below and more ($1500 -2k or less installed) which includes re painting and re labeling the pad as well, and updating the o ring set for the pad.
