Approx Gallonage: 18k
Dimensions: 10 x 25
Notes: The plaster is in poor to fair condition. There are signs of re bar rust bleeding through to the plaster surface. If not corrected this will compromise the entire pool shell. Also signs of heavy wear on the plaster surface. I expect another 2-6 years from this plaster surface before replacement would be needed.
The concrete overlay coping is delaminating in many locations. Specifically one area in the north east side of the pool. The other in the south west side. Both areas feel hollow and show visible signs of cracking and corrections / patches.
The coping around the skimmer is warped to an oval shape. If it continues any further it will crack the inner plastic ring.
I feel if it continues anymore the skimmer opening will eventually fail. And the skimmer basket will not be able to be cleaned out without modification. As it sits now the skimmer lid does not fit correctly. And one side is popped out of the skimmer opening causing a tripping hazard.
The plaster surface also has a thin organic algae buildup from a previous drain and clean service. This thin layer is on everything from the pool light to the pool surface. This should be removed to keep chemical usage down to a normal level before replastering.
Also with the current filter this may have difficulty being removed, as it is fine and abundant for this 150 Sqft cartridge filter.
I also found that the soft patched areas of the concrete coping / water line also aligns with either plaster variations or concrete lifting (pictured).
