Location: North Side
Sytle. Wood. Self closing, self latching. Pool Mesh Fencing, Self closing, not self latching. Needs adjustment.

Notes: The backyard entrance fence is in good working condition. The pool access gate is capable of self latching and self closing but at this time (pictured) you can see it needs adjustment. Recommend adjusting the fence ($150).

Approx Gallonage: 26-32k
Dimensions: 14 x 32
Notes. The plaster / pebble surface is in good condition. Signs of wear on walls and throughout the bottom. Even discoloration, typical for pools plastered 5 - 12 years previous. I would define this pebble surface as in good condition or a 7 out of 10. I would expect another 5-15 years from this plaster surface.

Size of Tile: 3x3 / 4/4
Type of Tile: Ceramic
Notes. The tile is in good condition. There are no loose or missing tile. There is however a light calcium build up. Recommend a tile cleaning service to resolve this issue ($450-550).

The water quality is overall in good condition. There are areas where algae has developed. This includes in between tiles and in the cracks and crevasses around the surface where the water meets the tile / rock / gunite. I feel this may be caused due to improper Cyanuric levels. Currently it is at 170 percent. And therefore the chlorine availability is over burdened and does not function as it normally can. Therefor a half drain or a 80% drain would bring this level down to 20- 90 ppm, where I would recommend 35.

Ph and Alkalinity were also very high. I do not suspect this is normally true for this pool as mentioned the pool surface is in good shape, however if left unattended for short periods of time, the water will turn corosive and cause the aging process of the surface to increase exponentially. Therefore ph adjustment is recommend as well as alkalinity.

Estimated cost for a drain and a ph and alkalinity adjustment ($350).

I would also maintain this pool for the following weekly service rates;

Bronze – Chemical Weekly Pool Service – $65/month.
Chemical Balance and Circulation Cleaning. You will need to brush and net the pool. Includes Filter Pump Basket Clean-Out, Skimmer Basket Clean-Out, and Chemical Balance.

Silver – Weekly Brushing Pool Service – $85/month.
Chemicals, Circulation, and Brushing Service.

Gold – Weekly Netting Pool Service – $105/month.
Chemicals, Circulation, Brushing & Netting Service.

Platinum – Weekly Pool Service – $140/month
We take care of it all - Chemicals, Circulation, Brushing, Netting and as needed Monthly Vacuum Service.

Skimmer Notes: There are two skimmers with two working float valves installed.

Main Drain Notes: The main drain is in good working condition. It has two anti entrapment anti vortex lids installed, however they are not VGBA compliant. I recommend replacing these with VGBA compliant covers ($88 x 2).

Spa Main Drain: The spa drain is in good working condition. It has two anti entrapment anti vortex lids installed, however they are not VGBA compliant. I recommend replacing these with VGBA compliant covers ($88 x 2).

Manufacturer: Polaris
Model: 280
Notes: in good working condition. It appears this unit was recently reconditioned. They did an excellent job as I found no major issues with this unit, however two small issues due to use; it needs new hose swivels and a new tail sponge ($55+).

Pool Auto-Fill: (Yes)
Spa Auto-Fill: (No)
Style: Auto-Fill Style - (Valve w/Float) + (Manual Turn Style shut off located by the main equipment pad.
Notes: This auto fill is in fair working condition. There is currently extremely low water pressure coming through the fill. And this float is the older metal version, therefore replacement of the float is recommended as this float will eventually fail due to corrosion ($105). But I do want to note that this is an interesting indicator how well this pools access water was maintained. There is no corrosion found even on the auto-fill metal fitting. This is not common in all areas of Sacramento, therefore auto fill replacement item ($35) is optional.

Manufacturer: American Standard

Watts: 500
Notes: There are two working pool lights installed. They are both in good working condition with no water present inside the light housings.

Manufacturer: American Standard
Model: Incandescent
Watts: 200-300
Notes: There is one spa light located on the west side of the spa. it is in good working condition with no water present inside the fixture.

Manufacturer: Sta-Rite
Model: System 3 Cartridge s8m150
SQFT. 450 Sqft
Notes. This filter is in good working condition. There has been a small leak located on the filter tank main o ring at some point. These o rings should be replaced every 5 years. Recommend replacement ($105) at this time, however it is not leaking at this time. I feel it may once the filter becomes dirty again and the pressure increases.

Manufacturer: Sta-Rite
Model. Max E Pro
HP: 1.5
Notes. This pump is in fair to good working condition. No leaks present. The pump runs and fills completely with water. However the temperature of the pump motor is an 8.5 out of 10. This classifies that the pump motor needs replacement in the next 6-24 months.

Also note I would recommend running this pump 6-8 hours in the winter and 10-15 hours in the summer (increase with use). This pump installed is a 1.5 hp pump or 2500-3500 watts (increase watts the older, hotter, and less efficient the pump reaches) and therefore the approx cost to run this pump is between 50-150$ per month.

Prime candidate for a Filter Pump Replacement with an Energy Efficient Variable Speed Pump $1325 (Installed Cost), with a PG&E Rebate ranging from 100-$500.

There is one item that needs replacement soon; the filter pressure gauge ($55). At this time the gauge is unreadable. Recommend replacement.

Manufacturer: Polaris
Model. PB4
HP: 3/4
Notes. This pump is in good working condition. However there is a bend in the hose due to improper installation. This does not greatly reduce the function of the cleaner at this time but may up to 50% If this pinch continues. Recommend hose replacement ($105) or modifying this connection.

This Sta-Rite Max E Pro pump is in good working condition. There are no leaks present at this time.

This Sta-Rite Max E Pro pump is in good overall working condition, however it's has a leaking shaft seal, leaking, pump lid o ring, and a leaking pump union. This needs to be repaired and serviced for this pump to operate correctly. Recommend repairs immediately ($255).

This 400k Btu Sta-Rite System 3 Nat. Gas heater is In good to great working condition. It currently heats the spa 1 degree in 2 minutes.

This Jandy Rs System is in good overall working condition.

There is an inside wall panel that is in fair working condition, as it does not display the water temperature correctly or allow for programming at this time. I recommend a programming service to alleviate these buggy issues ($125).

The outdoor wall panel operated correctly and had no errors when functioning all functions. I also tested the light / side panel gfci and found that it reset and tested correctly at this time.

The two actuator valves are in good working condition at this time. The three Jandy 3 way valves are in fair condition and damaged condition.
There is one valve that needs its internal seals replaced ($155). But ideally I would recommend servicing all 3 way valve seals located on the main equipment pad ($255).
