No safety fencing.

Safety fencing around the raised deck is loose.

Steps up to deck are not compliant.

Recommend attn for safety.

The majority of the pool surface is in relatively good condition for its age, but overall poor/damaged, with mottling present. There are no major blemishes other than two issues on opposite sides of the pool:
1 East side near the skimmer: surface issues relating to movement/cracking.
2 West side: similar issue as the east side.
Both issues together give the impression that this pool is having subsurface movement/torsion issues not necessarily related to decking movement.
I added estimated or expected costs to repair these two issues in the tile section (as they will cost more on top of resurfacing due to their nature and can only be truly assessed when opened and the extent of the issues examined), but note a standard complete replaster on a pool this size is approximately $12–14k for this pool and would likely be complemented when repairing the blemish/tile issues mentioned due to its current age (approximately 25 years+) and condition.
Additionally, we see small pits in the deep end indicating we are likely on the last 10% of this surface’s life cycle.

Last the exposed gunite surface may not be engineered and contributing to the movement seen.

On the southwest side of the pool the gunite pool shell is exposed, giving us a glimpse to any issues that may be present / water loss and on that southwest side of the pool we see a minor water bleed / blemish coming through in at least one location. Likely related to one of the splits / cracks forming on that wall of the pool - described in Surface section.

On the north east side of the pool there is some decking and structure movement, causing tiles to pop off near the skimmer. This area will likely need attention via tile repair ($500+) but additional issues is likely present (concrete decking / movement) therefore confirming the extent of this issue Vs. at time of tile repair / or replaster repair = will be a more accurate assessment opportunity.

We are seeing that the concrete on the north and north east side does have movement present, and if this entire north and north east side of concrete had to be redone the cost would likely be around $10k+ to demo, remove and replace, this would likely also include a new skimmer (if needed current skimmer looks recently replaced) and addressing / reinforcing the skimmer throat area (current stress cracking seen) will likely be an extra cost ($3k+?) as well as the west side ($3k+?)

Additionally, we do see the aging raised rock decorations showing signs of issues with cracks forming and mortar aging while it’s likely not needed today, it will need some attn done in the next 1 to 10 years ($3k+).

Black water stop plastic material can easily be removed - only aesthetic at this point.

80-90% clear and blue. Likely low water clarity due to no water flow in filter pump (currently running dry).

Some cya present, otherwise chemistry is fair, minor adjustments would include ph and alk down slightly and raising cya ($100 or less).

And recommend algae attention as it is present ever so lightly.

There is a main channel drain in the pool, it is difficult to tell if it is compliant as there appears to be organic matter inside the cover area, recommend checking to confirm safety ($10).

Additionally, there is a single main drain suction port on the middle wall of the middle end southside for an unknown reason this is not VGBA complaint if suction and at time of next re plaster can be updated to channel possibly ($1k+) in the mean time update the cover to a new universal safety cover ($200+)

The skimmer has parts present, but should have a weighted basket added ($50).

Due for updates / older / heavily worn , could not fully test due to non working flow / pump

But a new unit is approx $650

No backflow prevention.

Otherwise ideal overall. Older float but working.

Likely expired. Water present. Recommend new can ($250-1250) + install $400+

Filter pump was not pumping water through the system - therefore could not be fully tested.

Likely this filter is due for standard 5 year service =

New elements - $500
New gauge - $50
New O ring set - $200
And service - $150

Running, likely has been running dry for quite some time, and will need new shaft seal service ($500 +-)

Also service to pump lid o ring is likely the main cause ($50)

Also the pump is approx 3 feet higher than the pool water level making this a potential on going issue.

Recommend service ($150+) / attn to resolve

Likely due for attn to the return connection ($200+) otherwise recommend hard plumbing ($500+) vs current soft.

All working.

Recommend updating the breakers to variable speed Siemens breakers x1 and GFCI to other equipment / pool light / plug outlet updated ($450 parts) + electrician $300+

There are several small issues presents likely related to blue glue being used, this might also be the cause of the current Pump suction issue, therefore it would be smart to at least budget for the worst case scenario to re-plumb the equipment pad ($1500+) if poorly installed.

Or I could just use service to section side check valve to start ($100-500 or less).

I also see a leaking return fitting in between the pump and the filter ($500 or less) I would also upgrade the hose bib ($50).

Additionally, it appears that chlorine erosion tower may be leaking and due for service ($200 or less).

Recommend adding hard plumbing for the booster pump - as described in the booster pump section.
