Approx Gallonage: 22k Gallons
Dimensions: 14 x 30
Notes: The pool plaster is in fair condition. It shows signs of plaster pitting and wear throughout this swimming pool. There are several areas where the plaster has worn away to the Gunite. Since there is no more plaster on the Gunite surface this has as a potential for water loss. However at this time it does not appear to have water loss issues.

Notes: The tile is in great condition with no signs of calcium buildup I would expect another 2 to 10 years of use without any issue.

Also note that between the pool and spa there is a cosmetic water edge tile issue where 2 areas of tile have been damaged. This can be repaired for approx $150-200.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality is in good condition. However this pool has not been drained in 10+ years, therefore it may be time for a 1/2 drain or a full drain to ensure years of continued use.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Notes: The main drain is not currently being used. Instead the bottom cleaner is being used only in this skimmer opening. This bottom cleaner also provides "bottom suctioned water" from the pool bottom. Currently this is not an issue however if the bottom cleaner becomes unusable this will eliminate the proper flow required to keep this pool body clean and clear.

It also appears that the bottom drain covers are not VGBA compliant. Therefore replacement with such is recommended $88 x 2.

Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Pentair
Model: Clean and Clear Plus 420
Size: 420 Sqft
Notes: The filter is in great working condition. It currently has a slightly higher PSI gauge reading than it should. This is most likely caused by dirty filter elements. These filter elements, once cleaned, should lower this PSI down at least 10. If it in fact does not lower past 10 psi and instead only goes down less than 5 PSI then the elements need to be replaced ($200-450).

Filter Pump Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Sta-Rite
Model: Dyna-Glas / Max E Glas (unlabeled)
Size: 1 1/2 hp.
Notes: The filter pump is in good working condition. It does not make any bearing sound(s) or any noticeable issues.

**Note**: However once started and stopped three separate times on the third time it made an unusual noise, that caused me to examine the filter pressure. The filter pressure and pump flow effectively had dropped in half to 12 psi. I turned the pump on and off again and found the same issue. On the fifth and sixth time it ran normal. To me this is an issue and a red flag, however since it did stop after the continued start and stops, I would deem this as coincidental. Regardless I expect this pump to last another 1-3 years.

**Repair**: Also note that the suction and return fittings need to be re-attached ($255), as they are currently leaking. And the pump lid o ring needs to be replaced soon as well ($35).

The timer control pad is in fair to good working condition I expect another 1 to 5 years of life from this board. The light switches below the electric panel power both the pool and the spotlights. The small single breaker in this control box functions the pool and the spa lights and it is tripping and in working condition.

Auxiliary Timer Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention) $
