Notes: The fences are in good condition however they need self latching springs installed and tightened on each fence opening. There is also no door alarm on the sliding door entering the swimming pool.

Approx Gallonage: 22k- 25k
Dimensions: 14 x 25
Notes: The swimming pool plaster is in good condition overall.

However there are two areas of rebar bleed through. This is occurring due to thin plaster and will need to be patched immediately. Approx cost $650-990.

Another issue is the calcium spots throughout the bottom of the deep end of the swimming pool (middle). I would expect an acid wash to remove this issue ($500) also a oh adjustment to keep it between 7.0-7.2 will help minimize this issue in the future.

Additional Water Quality Notes

Overall the water quality is in good condition. The cynuric levels are slightly high. But if you stop using tabs to chlorinate the pool and instead liquid chlorine you will have less issue.

Notes: The bottom cleaner is in good condition it shows signs of minimal wear. I would expect another 3 - 10 years of use without issue. It does needs a new swivel or two ($20) and a new bag ($55). Recommend replacement of two items to ensure proper function for years to come.
