Minor repair needed.

The pebble surface has minimal wear present overall, likely the surface is between 2 to 4 years old. I do see considerable return discoloration, which sometimes is an indicator of over chlorination.

But what is most concerning is I do see at least two maybe a third large rebar issues, and potentially other Barr issues throughout the pool that may only be starting to progress.

The two major blemishes in the shallow end could be repaired at a cost of 1 - 2k each blemish, and if a tile mosaic was put on top of the Repair area you would never know the repair was performed…

But if we do see the additional areas being in fact, rebar related, then it may be likely that the surface will need a complete re-Plaster ($12-15k+ and + additional issues mitigation) to properly address whatever issues (poor construction quality) are present.

Recommend an underwater or like service ($300+) to check additional areas mentioned to confirm if they are rebar related.

On almost exact opposite ends of the pool corners, we see concrete deck cracking,

On the north east corner deck cracking it does appear to potentially almost go into the pool Tile, but not substantial yet.

Additionally, the skimmer throats on both skimmers are likely due for some minor attention - recommend adding mortar to both skimmer throats to tile connections and the northeast corner if applicable ($1k or less) to help waterproof these areas even if temporary.

Water loss is seen on pool equipment pad valve but overall partially conclusive; we do have low CYA, the auto fill is running, which are both general signs of water loss - but the calcium hardness level is elevated, which may be due to it being maintained on a weekly basis, still unusual as a CYA level is very low (a major sign of water loss / new water)

Additionally, there is a black algae presence as well as a yellow algae presence, I initially thought I saw dust on the bottom of the pool, but seeing that there is black algae in almost every corner and many of the tiles, it is likely spread throughout the pool, and is in a very concerning condition = difficult to remove with conventional means of water treatments at this point if what I am seeing is black algae everywhere throughout the pool bottom (hoping it’s just the pebble pattern) but obvious black algae is seen in corners, especially in the north east corner of The Pool, additionally, there is yellow algae in both skimmer throats very heavy.

To attempt to eliminate the allergy presence treatments would likely exceed $500

But if we have black algae on the bottom of the pool, it would likely be required to drain an acid rinse the surface $1500+- and then re balance $800 or less

Both skimmers have all parts present, but it does appear that both skimmers should have their floats updated, especially the west skimmer, as well as the float O-ring and adding a weighted basket to both as well ($300 or less).

Main drains in the pool, deep end and West End for the waterfall are VGBA compliant.

The bottom cleaner is not connected for an unknown reason, if the cleaner itself is damaged in some capacity, it can likely be repaired for less than $200. But if the seller is planning on taking the bottom cleaner, a new replacement unit is around $650.

The auto fill appears to be in working condition without issue, but it is running continuously at low full speed, this is common during high heat times of year, but it has been running since my arrival. Recommend minor service to this fill float to confirm if issue is present ($20)

There are 2x 10 inch lights in the pool and one smaller 6 inch light.

It appears that all three have condensation inside the light lens, the middle 10 inch light is flickering about ready to fail, and the other two lights are of issue as well.

The cost for a LED white Hayward light is approximately $700x1 $800x2 , and expect a labor cost of around $400 for each light installed

Due to the amount of organic matter present / algae inside the swimming pool , it will not be like likely that the filter elements just simply be cleaned with service $150 or less, but rather also after the algae is gone, the elements will be replaced ($500+) , at that time it might be wise to consider upgrading the tank O-ring if it is approximately five years old ($100)

The filter pump is working, it just seems to have a very simple return leak that can be resolved with minor attention and service ($150 or less).

Otherwise, without issue

The booster pump is functional, even though there are signs of previous water loss issues. It does appear that there is no longer issues present.

This pump is operating within a normal parameters.

Working without issue, but for an unknown reason, it does turn on and then after a period of time likely due to priming, goes into a lower speed, versus staying at one speed - recommend programming to modify this if needed ($150 or less).

The timer is in ideal, working condition with a GFCI breaker for the waterfall and filter pumps as well as the outlet plug. No upgrades needed at this time.

After updating the pool lights, I would simply upgrade the plug outlet for an extra layer of safety ($100).

It does appear that the chlorine generator is likely failing and or getting towards the end of its life cycle and a new cell will likely be required soon ($950 + install / programming $300 or less)

There is one leak seen on the solar three way valve that will need service ASAP, best case $50 or less in Parts, worst case new valve internals $300 or less installed.

The Pool equipment pad is due to be repainted and re-labeled and covered from the sun using a UV mesh ($300 or less).
