Notes. The plaster is in great to good condition. The only issue I've found is on the steps of the pool. The plaster is lightly worn there. This is not
Abnormal due to the age of the pool (5-8years). But it can be corrected by keeping the ph between 7.0-7.4 and brushing once weekly.

The chlorine on this pool is very high. I would recommend a light chlorine removal chemical to bring this down to a more manageable level.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Notes: The single skimmer located on the right side of the pool is in good condition. The single main drain is also in good working condition. Both function well at this time. It appears the main drain cover is vgba compliant however there is much debris covering the main drain at this time so I cannot determine. I would only
Recommend replacing the skimmer basket float valve at this time ($42). It is yellowed and it's float o ring is not in good condition. A simple replacement will solve this issue.

Notes: The Autofill at the pool is in good condition however the valve located on the pool equipment pad is leaking when the autofill is on, I would recommend a seal replacement / part replacement. $50-150. At this time I kept the Autofill valve off to prevent additional water leaking.
