Notes: The pool plaster is in overall good condition. There are signs of light calcium modeling in some areas near the wall edges, this is not uncommon and puts the pools age between 7-10 years. There are some rust spots towards the deep end of the pool. These can be removed via a stain treatment service ($250).

Additional Water Quality Notes

Overall the water is in good condition, however there is algae hiding in the pool and spa walls. With the water chemistry so focused on high chlorine I would not expect to see this much algae present without there being a phosphate issue. I would recommend a phosphate treatment ($65) and a cyanuric acid increase ($55) to help bring this pool back to a balanced state.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Skimmer Notes: The skimmer was in good working condition. Both skimmers had sufficient flow. The north most skimmer had its main drain line blocked with a single plastic plate screwed in. This may be a sealed plug, if not this could be an area of leak in the future.

The south most skimmer has a skimmer with an improper float. Recommend replacement $55.

Main Drain Notes: The main drains covers are in good working condition. They are older style anti entrapment covers, not
VGBA standard. Recommend replacement to VGBA covers.
