Size of Tile: 4x4

Notes: Water line tile is in good condition without missing or cracked tiles. Has some spots of calcium on the tile line especially in the spa.

Has a major crack on tile on the outer side of spa that goes through the actual foundation of the spa and on to the inside. This issue is concurent with improper bonding or steel to the gunite and concrete top surface.

This spa repair will cost at minimum of $5000 to rebuild it correctly. Our parent company Earth Dynamic Poolscapes pool building contractor confirmed this price estimate.

Recommend Tile Cleaning Service $450 to remove calcium on tile surface. At that time you may further examine the issue on the outside of the spa.

If purchased separately, a tile repair is typically 300-400 for this outside spa issue.

Booster Pump Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention)$

Booster Pump #1 Booster Pump #2
Booster Pump Brand Booster Pump Model Horsepower
Booster Pump Additional Notes

There appears to be a booster pump or blower installed at one time for the bottom cleaner to function. I feel that instead of replacing the booster pump they opted to just use a pressure bottom cleaner instead. This plumbing was then modified to accommodate that issue. In the future you can install a booster pump and have a pressure style bottom cleaner, which will work much better than the current bottom cleaner. Also note to cap off this connection correctly it would cost approx $105 to repair. Also to install a correct booster pump (missing currently) it would cost $455 and to install a better bottom cleaner it would cost $623. This would allow for superior bottom cleaning performance.

Overall Details

All fittings are in good working condition. However some fittings are older than 15 years and will need to be replaced in the next 1- 5 years ($75/valve x 4 valves). Currently there is one Jandy valve that needs replacing ($75) however I would recommend doing this one valve as well as three others and one check valve ($455) to bring this equipment pad up to date.
