Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality is in poor condition. It needs immediate attention. There is mild algae build up on the walls and outlets, that can be removed via a; 1. Phosphate treatment, $55, 2. Increase in chlorine to a 5-10ppm $45, and 3. Filter cleaning $65, 4. Ph and Alkalinity adjustments ($25).

Once the water is balanced this swimming pool water shouldn't need much more attention.

The skimmer located on the west side of the pool is the first skimmer, this skimmer collects most debris, the other skimmer is almost not in use. This can and should be adjusted via a new working skimmer float valve. Recommend installing two new floats ($55 ea x 2).
