Approx Gallonage: 5,000 Gallons
Dimensions: The 12 x 30
Notes: The swimming pool pebble surface is in good condition. I would expect another 15-25 years from this plaster surface. When plaster is exposed to air for long periods of time this greatly reduces the plaster life. Currently the plaster on the right side is often exposed to air. This may decline its life by 2 fold compared to the rest of the pool plaster. Also note that where the plaster meets the "natural" gunite formations above the water line, I am seeing de lamination. This is expected with age. Note this may need to be inspected by a pool buidling contractor to confirm duration and expected cost to fix / replace -> (916) 630-7665 Earth Dynamics ePoolscpaes.com
