Approx Gallonage: The swimming pool is approximately 30,000 gallons
Dimensions: The swimming pool is 15 feet wide by 30 feet long
Notes: The Swimming Pool Surface is in fair to good condition. It shows significant signs of wearing throughout the swimming pool. I would expect another 5 to 10 years from the plaster surface.

There is a structural crack on the swimming pool shell that travels from the bottom radius up through the tile and coping. This tells me that there is a more significant issue here than a minor surface crack. I would recommend this to be looked at by a structural engineer for further evaluation and estimation of repair (ePoolscapes 916-532-5402 - Mike)

This Teledyne heater is in non-working condition. I would recommend replacing this heater with a 400,000 BTU heater to properly heat this swimming pool. Otherwise this heater should be removed to avoid eventual deterioration and catastrophic leak.

Overall Details

The valves installed in the swimming pool are located under the concrete decking. They are in good working condition. Note that this valve body style is older than 10 to 15 years therefore it will need to be replaced in the next 5 to 10 years. These valves currently control the flow from the spa area to the pool area and the suction throughout the pool. Minimal adjustment will be required during its lifetime.
