This pool does not have waterline tile. This style of pool is more common in mild climates where chlorine burn off is lower. That said there is a light chlorine buildup / waterline marking around the pool. This may be removed via a glass bead blasting surface if it is a concern. Approx cost $400.

Filter #1 Filter #2
Filter Brand Filter Model
Filter Notes
Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Hayward
Model. Star Clear Plus
Size. 175.0sqft
Notes: The filter element is most likely full and needing to be replaced ($125). The pressure is high and this is causing the entire system to slow, including the bottom cleaner, which is ran directly from the pump that is being restricted by this filter. I feel if you clean or replace the filter element this will allow the bottom cleaner to function up to 90% efficiency at its current state.

Also there is a leak on the filter return fitting. Approx cost to repair replace $125.

Filter Pump Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Anthony Pools / Pentair
Model: Flowmaster / Superflo / Whisperflo
Size: 1.5hp
Notes: This pump is in fair to good condition. It operates well (strong) and makes little to no bearing wear noise. I would expect this pump to work another 2-10 years without issue. Currently the pump lid o ring needs replacement ($45).

Also note that this pump has a new motor. It was added in the past 5-10 years.

The heater is in poor to fair condition. It does turn on and heat however I feel the heater has very little additional life left. Recommend replacement soon.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Good$

Overall Details

The actuator valves all function. The one Jandy 3 way valve located on the pump return operates as it should, difficult to turn, however it does not leak. The other valve on the return side of the pump on the same line leaks when flow is stopped to it. Recommend o ring replacement / replacement of 3 way valve complete (approx cost $255 for both valves installed).

I feel the plumbing is 10-15 years old, and the piping and calving were not painted for uv protection. At this time replacement of plumbing and valves would be expected in the next 5-10 years. Approx cost $550 (excluding actuator bodies).
