Approx Gallonage: 18- 22K
Dimensions: 15 x 32
Notes: The plaster is in good to fair condition. There is significant wear throughout the pool, however the wear is not too deep to consider this pool plaster damaged. The reason for the significant wear is as a result of not brushing the plaster upon re plaster as well as minimally maintaining the pool water weekly. I would give this pool plaster a 7 out of 10 as far as quility and remaining life.

The spa condition is in the same zone of condition. I would give the spa a 4 out of 10 as far as quility and remaining life.
