Notes. The pool plaster is in overall fair to good condition. There are three areas of concern that cause this plaster to be considered damaged, I would estimate repair of these plaster areas to cost approx $600-850 to repair. This would require the pool to be drained.

Filter Pump Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Pentair
Model. Whispflo
HP. 3/4hp
Notes. This Whisperflo pump is in good working condition. However overall this pump Is not designed to push water up through the solar, with dirty filter elements. Since the elements are dirty this pump is working harder than normal and this will cause the motor to fail in the next 1-5 years, unless the filter elements are cleaned at least every 3 months.

Also the return side fitting here needs to be repaired as it is currently leaking. Recommend repair to resolve this issue $175+.
