Location: North West
Sytle: Self Closing Self Latching
Notes: This property has two fences. Once separating the front yard from the side yard. And another separating the side yard from the backyard / pool yard. The front yard / side yard separator is setup for self closing self latching; However it does need adjustments to the current hardware to make this effective. Also note the gate surrounding the pool is not self closing self latching.

Notes. The swimming pool plaster is in good to fair condition. The plaster appears to be 10-15 years old based on wear patterns. I expect another 5-15 years from this plaster surface.

Notes. The tile condition is great. Looks like new. However there is some calcium buildup near the top of the tiles. Also note there is algae buildup on the tile surface. This should be removed via a wire brush or brillow pad up to 2 mm of grout. By keeping a consistent chemical balance of chlorine and weekly brushings will help eliminate future algae buildup.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water is in overall good condition. However there is evidence of a yellow algae and green algae outbreak throughout the swimming pool and plastic nitches. Recommend balancing chemicals then if still present start with an algae treatment ($85) and or draining and chlorine bathing the swimming pool surface ($425). To help eliminate the presence of organic growth.

Notes: The bottom cleaner is in good working condition. The only issue currently found is a non working wall adaptor ($55) or missing reducer spacer. Once either are present and or replaced this bottom cleaner should operate like new. Also note the cleaner is in working condition however many parts on the cleaner have 50% of life or less including but not limited to;
1. Tail ($25)
2. Backup Valve ($105)
3. Hose Swivels ($10ea) x 4.

Notes: This filter is 2x the size of this swimming pool, but in a good way. Less often filter cleanings and larger reservoir makes this a great filter. Recommend replacing the filter pressure gauge assembly ($75) for accurate pressure readings to know when to clean. Otherwise clean quarterly for best results.

Overall Details

There are three leaks on the equipment pad. The first is located on the chlorine feeder, recommend replacing hoses ($105) to solve this issue. The second is the energy bowl, this can be cut out and coupled ($125) as it is not needed with this type of bottom cleaner, it is left over from their old Rayvac system. Also recommend plumbing this line around the filter ( +$105). The last leak is located on the valve located on the return side of the pump. This is leaking most likely from its seal but I feel the valve needs to just be replaced ($155), also note you do not need to replace this valve with a new valve if you opt to plumb it after the filter option. Thus saving $155.
