Notes: The gate self closes however it is almost able to self latch, however it needs some minor modifications to commish this; 1. Tighten the tensioner spring, 2. Cut wood of latch area to allow it to cleanly self close.

Approx Gallonage: 18 - 24k gallons
Dimensions. 14 x 28 ft
Notes: The pool plaster is in good condition overall. Little to no signs of plaster wear except present on steps edges and far sides wall slope. I would expect this plaster to last another 8-25 years with proper water balance.

Size of Tile: 4 x 4
Type of Tile. Ceramic
Notes. The tile is in good physical condition. However there is light chemical and calcium build on the tile surface. This is caused by heater or superheated water evaporating and leaving the heaviest elements behind. This can be removed via a glass bead cleaning service approx $450-550.

Additional Water Quality Notes

Overall I would recommend draining this swimming pool. I personally would not swim in this pool for three reasons;
1. The chlorine is extremely high. May cause harm to skin and eyes. I could smell the chlorine as I just entered the backyard.
2. There is chlorine in the skimmer basket now causing even more chlorine to enter the water and potentially damaging the system and o rings throughout the system.
3. When I arrived the system is only running the waterfalls to circulate the pool rather than the filtration system. This means that bacteria and viruses are potentially present and able to be ingested.

Recommend filtering this water and to stop chlorinating immediately. Also lowering ph. But overall this pool has too high of cynuric levels and therefore must be 1/2 drained or 5/6 drained to lower down to proper levels.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Skimmer Notes: The skimmer has good flow, however there is a chlorine cookie installed. This should be removed immediately.

Main Drain Notes: The main drains are more than 2 feet apart And anti siphon anti vortex lids. However they are not vgba certified. Recommend replacement with such.

Auto-Fill Additional Notes

Pool Auto-Fill: (Yes)
Spa Auto-Fill: (Na)
Style: (Valve w/Float)
Notes: The auto fill is in good condition however it does not appear to be filling the pool correctly, this may need a line clearing service to accompany a replacement of the float valve (recommended every 5-10 years) $55 part $125 clearing service.

The shut off valve is located on the south east corner of the home. The right and top most blue valve is what turns this auto fill to the on or off position.

Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Jandy
SQFT: 300-500 SQFT
Notes: The filter has a higher than usual psi reading. Approx 8 psi higher than clean. Recommend cleaning the filter elements ($55). If the psi does not reduce 10psi then I recommend replacement of filter elements ($450). Also the filter tank O Ring is leaking and needs to be lubricated and or most likely replaced due to age $75.

HP: 1.5 HP
Notes: This pump is in good working condition. It has a replacement motor that is 1-3 years old on this 7-12 year old pump body. I recommend covering the equipment pad with a uv protectant cover to help this equipment (including this motor) to last 1-3x longer (hence why the first motor most likely failed).

Overall Details

Manufacturer: Jandy
Model: NeverLUBE
Notes: There are three valves installed. All three appear to be in fair to good condition. However the reason for lower marks are the degraded physical condition due to no UV protection. Therefore I would recommend; Valve O ring Replacement x 3 $255 and a Re-Paint Service $125 to be done soon or in the next 1-6 months.
