Location: North East side of home / Rear of Home / Inside home sliding door to pool tested
Style: Wooden / Wrought Iron / Sliding Glass
Notes: All gates are in working condition, however all fail initial build requirements. This can be corrected at little cost ($250+) through maybe handymen services to correct the wooden fence to at least self close self latch. Also the rear fence could be simply pad locked with a combination, and sliding door as any other door leading to the swimming pool area should have for safety an alarm installed ($105ea installed) to prevent accidental exposure to the swimming pool.

All should have for safety self closing & self latching / Swing Away pool etc, and check additional local law requirements.

Approx Gallonage: 22k - 24k gallons.
Dimensions: 14 x 32
Notes: The plaster is in good overall condition. I would expect another 5-15 years from this surface without issue.

There are some markings found throughout this plaster surface, most notably found in the spa area and the west most inlet of the swimming pool. Both represent this pool has been maintained well over the years. Expect a higher number of estimated future years as a result of this fact. Also note I would give this a 8 out of 10 (Or B+) on plaster life left.

Very Mild and minimal scratching found throughout.

Nothing appears as major damage, or needs immediate correction at this time.

Size of Tile: 3 x 3
Type of Tile: Ceramic
Notes: There is tile and natural rock surrounding this swimming pool. Both are in good condition (8 out of 10), no loose or missing. I would expect another 5-10 years before a calcium cleaning may be required ($600), at this time calcium build up is nearing 6 out of 10.

The water quality is in fair overall condition.

Check Spring time but the level should then have a high phosphate level. As a result of constant organic foliage (near the spa) entering the body of water. Recommend phosphate treatment ($65) and filter cleaning ($55) before entering the;

spring: water temp touches 60+ degrees.

Skimmer Notes: The skimmer float valve should be replaced for safety as it is in poor to fair condition $55.

Main Drain Notes: One main drain, located in the pool deep end and two located in the spa side. Neither are vgba compliant. Recommend replacing for safety all 3 with new VGBA compliant drain covers, to avoid entrapment issues ($88 x 3).

Also note you can install an equipment side anti-entrapment device detection unit as an alternative means to avoid injury when entrapment occurs ($588).

Manufacturer: Hayward
Model: Navigator
Notes: The bottom cleaner is in good overall condition it does need new wear pads on the bottom of the unit however it is not an immediate need ($110). I would expect this unit to work very well for the next 2 to 6 months however some minor repairs will be needed, most certainly in the next year (100+).

I feel a return style bottom cleaner replacement ($626) with equipment modification ($255) may improve this pools ability to have the bottom self maintained;

But my gut tells me that a simple 2 wheel or 4 wheel "The Pool Cleaner" bottom cleaner unit will work the best at the lowest cost ($450) and not require any equipment modification.

Regardless the bottom cleaner is in good working condition at this time.

Recommend replacement o ring / cleaning service on the leaf canister ($15).

Pool Auto-Fill: (Yes)
Spa Auto-Fill: (No)
Style: (Manual Turn Style)
Notes: The other manual fill is in good condition it is controlled via a single valve located next to the southwest corner of the home. Its pool fill connection is currently loose needs a minor repair ($125+) to bring this back to a stable long lasting unit, recommend unistrut or attaching this to the house for stability. Long term. At this time it does not leak and fills the pool at a fast rate, but i feel it may break at any moment and cause a flood or worse (thats up for interpretation) flood dirt and organic material into the swimming pool, causing significant issue ($50-100 in chemical adjustments).

Manufacturer: American Standard
Model: Incandescent
Watts: 500
Notes: The pool light has very light water / condensation build up inside of the light nitch on the glass lens. The entire light body should be replaced for safety. Note in the future you can see condensation build up over years, do physical inspections at least years to detect future seal breaches. A seal is $10, a pool light body is $505. I feel it needs to be replaced at this time. But an alternative method would be to replace the light bulb and seal ($40) and watch for leak breach before returning power to the unit, not my recommendation but option.

Notes:

Manufacturer: Hayward
Model: Swim Clear
SQFT: c3020
Notes: The filter is in good working condition the filter pressure is low which is a good thing indicating that the filter elements have been cleaned recently or replaced. I would expect another 3 months before the filters will need an additional cleaning ($55) and another 2 years before replacement would be recommended ($150-250).

Manufacturer: Hayward
Model: Tri-Star
HP: 1.0
Notes: This filter pump is in good working condition however the original motor does appear to be worn and I feel that the motor is only in fair condition 4/10. I would expect 1 -24 months from this motor ($555 replaced) However since it has lasted this long (7-15 years I feel it could potentially last forever.

Notes:

The waterfall pump is an overall good condition. The motor on the pump has been recently replaced however there are two leaks possibly from the motor replacement job; One is located from the pump lid the other is located on the shaft seal both should be repaired soon ($125+).

The timer is in good working condition and has two switches. One is for the pool light and the other is for the waterfall pump. This panel has three breakers. One breaker is for the waterfall pump and two breakers are for the filter pump. The other breaker is for the pool light; it is also on the side, its a GFCI and it is in working condition at this time.

There are three valves.

One is located on the equipment pad.

One is located against the wrought iron fence on the backside of the pool.

One is located on the waterfall.

All three are in working condition. All should have its internal o rings re lubricated ($210)
