Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is compromised in several locations, there is a 1 to 2 inch differential between the middle and the ends of the pool / settling.

The surface overall is in damage condition with entry steps and edges, showing signs of issue.

The waterline tile is coming off in The Pool in several locations and is likely due to be updated in both The Pool and the Spa if so, the cost would likely run between 2 to 5000 depending on options.

The concrete decking around the pool has some movement obviously, especially around the spa. We see some cracking. It will likely require this concrete area around the pool and some regard to be potentially cut out and updated to match the proper level of The Pool ($5-20k+)

Overall Details

Recommend servicing the equipment pad with new paint new labeling + covering from the sun, using UV mash ($400)

Also, three three-way valves are due to be updated and serviced plus the one check valve ($1k+).



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.
