Location: South west dide of property tested.
Style: Wood
Notes: The gate self closes and self latches.

Approx Gallonage: 32,900-35K Gallons
Dimensions: 18 x 35
Notes: The swimming pool is in good overall condition however I found the following issues;

1. The pool plaster is in poor to fair condition. There are signs throughout that the plaster is failing and on the last 1-5 years of its life. Once the plaster fails completly it will no longer be able to hold water.

Since the plaster is failing there is considerable algae build up on the rough patches throughout the pool (20-40% of pool and spa)

Since the chlorine is at such a high level (20+PPM) there is only major algae found in the corners or in shady areas.

If the chlorine level drops to a normal range (1-5ppm) expect a large algae issue.

2. There is no main drain cover in place. Recommend upgrading this single main drain with a double VGBA complaint cover installation.
($500-1000) Dual Drain Installations x 2 (One Pool Installation One Spa)

3. The pool plastic return outlets are all charred and yellowed from extremely high levels of chlorine circulation.
($250 Pool $50 Spa)

Size of Tile: 2 x 2
Type of Tile: Ceramic
Notes: The tile is in overall good condition, with no loose or missing. There is no calcium build up on the tile surface, and there is a medium build up of calcium on the brick above the tile. This leads me to believe that the tile was cleaned recently.

Overall the water quality is in poor condition based on the algae issue present.

I would recommend two options in order of highest possible solution to remove the algae;

1. De-Chlorinating ($45), Draining & Re-plastering the swimming pool ($3000-4000). And then filling and re-chemicalizing the pool water for the hot season $150

Or

2. Removing the phosphates ($45) cleaning the filters and treating them seperatly with alagicide ($45) and Phosphate remover again ($45) and Keeping the chlorine at a medium to high level (5-10ppm) for a period of 1 month. And even if this is performed it may not be 100% successful.

Skimmer Notes: The skimmer float valve needs to be replaced; $55.

Main Drain Notes: The main drain of the pool and spa need to be upgraded to a VGBA complaint cover ($88 x 2).

Manufacturer: Polaris
Model: 280/380
Notes: The bottom cleaner appears to be in working condition, however it does need additional adjustment or repair ($45). Only then can we see inside the unit to determine why it is turning over on its side and running accross the bottom incorrectly ($25-110).

Recommend installing a new tail sponge as well ($11)

Pool Auto-Fill: (Yes)
Spa Auto-Fill: (No)
Style: (Manual Turn Style)
Notes: The pool autofill is in good working condition.

Manufacturer: American Standard.
Model: Incandescent
Watts: 500 x 2
Notes: The pool light is in good working condition. It appears to be original , but in newer condition.

Manufacturer: American Standard.
Model: Incandescent
Watts: 500 x 2
Notes: The spa light is in good working condition. It appears to be original , but in newer condition.

Manufacturer: Hayward
Model: Cartridge
SQFT: 175
Notes: This cartridge filter is small for the pool, about 50% too small.

Recommend upgrading the filter for lifelong payback to a larger Cartridge or Sand Filter (Best Recommendation).

Manufacturer:Pentair
Model: Intellifo
HP: 3HP
Notes: This filter pump is in good working condtiion.

Manufacturer: Polaris
Model: PB4
HP: 3/4
Notes: This booster pump is in fair working condition. It shows signs of heavy corrosion from a failed pump shaft seal. It doesnt appear to be leaking currently however when the filters get dirty and the pressure increases expect a consistant leak.

Replacement is recommended as the frame of the unit is now deteriorating.

Also the conduit connection is loose and or older and brittle, recommend replacing this as well.

This waterfall pump is original with a new motor. This unit is in good working condition.

There is however a small leak on the suction side of this pump. Will need repair ($155) to re connect the suction side of this pump.

This Hayward HS200 Natural Gas Heater is in working condition, however it is not currently turning on. This is caused by a CE error or possibly a gas sensor issue, or a sensor issue. Recommend a heater technician service visit to diagnose this issue further ($125). I feel this will be a bad sensor issue ($60-120) + labor ($125).

This dual timer intermatic timer clock is in good working condition.

The pool and spa light are on a single NON gfci breaker located inside the timer box. This should be replaced and upgraded; ($88)

This should also be wired to a GFCI breaker plug on the outside of the panel ($125).

It has one new timer clock (left side) and one older or original timer clock (right side) . The left timer clock powers the filter pump and the right timer powers the booster pump. Note one of those will fail in the next 6-48 months, replacement per timer clock ($155).

Recommend upgrading the timer clock to a Suntouch ($575) an Easytouch ($805) or a Intellitouch ($1235) to remote control the pool and or the spa.

These Jandy 3 Way Valves are in poor to fair working condition. One valve is poor condition since its missing its lubrication screw insert, and the other is in fair condition as it has all its pieces present. However both valves are older than 20 years. Both valves are also discontinued due to inferior design. Recommend upgrading to the never lube valve(s) $75 x 2.

The plumbing on this system is mostly original. Recommend replaceing the plumbing in the next 6-24 months ($455). Also recommend replacing most electrical conduit and connection fittings as most are no longer water tight ($210).
