Notes. The plaster surface is in fair to good condition. There are signs of light plaster wear throughout the plaster surface. In the shallow end steps there is chlorine staining. This may be removed via a stain treatment ($225). There appears to be light discoloration throughout the pool bottlm. Mostly in the main deep end of the pool but also found in the shallow end. This is common for pools left out of balance on chemistry for long periods of time. As we all as pools with organic matter left in them for long periods of time. I feel this pool surface may be treated to resolve the staining issues at approx $100-225 or an acid wash ($500). However this etching is causing most of the mis-color issues and I feel cannot be corrected without an acid wash service.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality is in fair condition overall. However the chlorine alkalinity ph and Cyanuric are all out of balance. Recommend a chemical treatment to correct this issue ($235).

Also note that the reason why the chlorine is so high may be in an effort to hide an algae outbreak. Recommend checking and treating for phosphates immediately ($65).

Since this is a de filter after treatment the de filter will need to be serviced ($45-95).
