Notes: The swimming pool fencing is in ideal physical condition. However there needs to be some maintenance to the self closing spring. At this time the fence does not self close or self latch. It needs additional hardware to be installed to self close.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality overall is fair. It currently has a chlorine reading that is very high. Please remove the chlorine tablets out of the skimmer basket immediately. It also currently has a low cyanuric acid level please raise this soon. And last there is algae in the pool even with a high chlorine reading. This means that you have a bad algae infestation. I would recommend a phosphate treatment service to remove the algaes food source and eliminate it from the pool.

Notes: This filter is in fair condition. It manages to keep the water clear of heavy debris, however there is a small algae infestation and I would recommend replacing the filter element to remove this algae issue ($150).

Overall Details

There are no valves installed. However there is heavy sun fading / damage to the piping. Recommend paint service to restore the piping to like new uv protection ($175).

Also there is a leaking o ring on the filter tank. This is the only source of water on the equipment pad.

I would expect there to be a need of an o ring replacement on all pieces of equipment here I would expect this standard maintenance service to cost $200-400.
