Notes: The pool plaster is in fair to good condition there are signs of plaster wear spread throughout the swimming pool in both the shallow and deep ends of the pool. There are no signs of heavy pits in the plaster surface. I would expect this plaster to need to be replaced in the next 5-15 years, depending on maintenance.

The water is free of floating particulates. However on the bottom of the pool there are several dust fields. I expect this to only be an issue if the pool is not maintained weekly. A way to guarantee removal of this debris is with a suction style bottom cleaner. This will work with the in floor cleaning system to ensure the bottom is spotless.

Overall Details

The valving is in good working condition. There are no water leaks present in any return valve body. However there may be a single air leak in the suction side valve body of the filter pump. This valve is located directly in front of the filter pump. It may be leaking air into the system. As it sits now the filter pump runs dry when started up or placed in a high speed mode. This happens even when in spa mode (thus eliminating the idea that it is because of a low pool level). I would recommend replacing this suction side 3 way valve o ring set to ensure proper flow and air free operation.
