Notes. The swimming pool is in good working condition, however there is a large crack on the south wall surface. There are also pitting and chemical stains throughout this plaster surface. I would expect this surface to last another 1-24 months. I believe this pool is currently leaking some water or will in the next 1-24 months. Recommend re-plaster and re-model to south side wall (approx 5k plaster 5-10k remodel).

The water quality is in fair to good condition. It is balanced, however there is a small algae outbreak in this pool. It would most likely take approx $100-200 in treatment or service to remove this algae.

Skimmer & Main Drain Details


Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Skimmer Notes: The skimmer is in working condition. It has chlorine 3" 'cookies' in the skimmer basket causing equipment damage. Recommend removing the cookies immediately. The purpose of this was to increase chlorine in the water however this only causes issues with the equipment and o rings due to a drop in ph. If this has been done for a long period of time, it can damaged the under ground plumbing and cause eventual leaks as well as equipment.

Main Drain Notes: The main drain is not vgba compliant, therefore replacement is recommended on this existing pool. Note the cover is an anti entrapment cover which is good, however it is an older version. And it is recommended that replacement occurs.

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Good $

Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Hayward

Notes. The bottom cleaner is in fair to good condition. It currently has a 50% filled bag showing its cycle was ran And this unit can collect both top and bottom debris. Since there was some mild dust and debris on the bottom still, I would recommend this unit gets serviced.

Notes: These two timers are in working condition. One timer controls the filter pump and the other controls the bottom cleaners booster pump. The cleaner timer is in like new condition. The filter pump timer is in proginal condition. The box they are housed in however is most likely original. I would expect the new timer to last another 15-30 years. And the box and or old timer to last another 5-10 years. Replacement cost $155-500.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Good$

Overall Details

The valves installed on this equipment pad are in fair to good working condition. I would recommend replacing one of the valve (Ortega spa valve) in the next 1-5 years. This valve controls the flow to the pool or the spa. As it stands now, this valve will eventually fail and leak water. Best to fix now to avoid future issues. $150-300.
