Notes. The plaster is in fair to good condition. Shows some signs of plaster wear in the corners and along the bottom of the deep end. There are small rust stains found at the bottom of the deep end. This can be fixed with our rust out service ($245). I also found a "pool-rx" unit in the skimmer basket. This shows me that either they wish to eliminate chlorine usage or have had algae problems in the past. Either way I do recommend using this product twice a year for both reasons. And last I would expect this plaster to last another 5-10 years if ph and alkalinity are maintained correctly.

Notes: The tile is custom. It is composed of three to four separate pieces in one 1 x 4 square. The tile has light to medium build up of calcium. This can be removed by glass bead blasting the tile surface ($425). This will bring the tile back to like new.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Notes: The skimmer Weir door needs to be replaced ($35) as it currently sticks and blocks water flow while I was using the skimmer. Also note the skimmer basket float valve needs to be replaced as well ($42). As the one currently installed does not shut off water flow when there is not enough water available.

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Damaged (Needs Tune Up Service $45) $

Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Polaris
Model. 280/380
Notes: The bottom cleaner is in fair condition. And It currently does work and picks up the majority of debris in the swimming pool. However it is currently only working at about 50% power and efficiency. This can be corrected by doing a repair service ($45) on the bottom cleaner. Not only will it need a repair but it most likely will need the following repairs; 1. New tires 2. New backup valve 3. Hose swivels 4. New wheel on drive side. Approx replacement / repair costs of unit are $250. Approx cost for new unit is $623.

Notes: The manual fill valve is located next to the house on the back right side. However it appears that this is not the pool Autofill. It is a gray valve with a black knob style top. It does leak a small amount once on however this is not abnormal and can be fixed by replacing the seals inside of the unit ($35).

Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Nautilus NS
Model: NS-36
Size: 36 Sqft.
Notes: The filter appears to be in good working condition however it has a bad pressure gauge ($12) and needs to be replaced. Also note this filter is an original so most likely it will need to be replaced in the next 1-10 years ($675). Also note that this has a push pull backwash Valve set up as well as a separation tank set up. Note Approximately every fifth time you backwash the filter you will need to open the filter tank and clean the filter out by hand. This will also allow you to inspect the element grids to make sure there are no holes or problems inside.
