Notes: The gate does not self close or self latch. It does appear to have the proper fencing hardware installed. Therefore a minor hardware adjustment should be achieved to self close and self latch this gate. Note the fence also needs its swinging post corrected.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality is poor, with too high of chlorine, too high of ph, and too high of alkalinity I would recommend this water be adjusted immediatly ($150 Approx Service Cost to Correct).

Also the water is so poor over the life of the pool that its caused discoloring to the return eyelets ($300) as well as damaging the plaster surface ($3500-4100 depending on color options).

Recommend lowering water chlorine levels, and ph before entering the body of water.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Skimmer Notes: The skimmer is in good working condition with a working float weir gate.

The skimmer basket is in poor shape ($35) as it is bleached and discolored. This can be caused by leaving several chlorine 3" tablets in the skimmer basket for prolonged periods of time.

The skimmer baskets netting is torn in several areas ($10), recommend replacement of this netting (however it is an auxillary item and not needed).

The skimmer float valve is in fair condition and should be replaced soon ($55) due to internal o ring and float exposure.

Main Drain Notes: The main drain cover is in good condition however it is an older standard. Recommend replacment with new VGBA compliant cover ($88).

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Good $

Cleaner #1 Cleaner #2
Bottom Cleaner Brand Bottom Cleaner Model
Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Hayward / THe Pool Cleaner
Model: Two Wheel/White
Notes: The bottom cleaner is in good internal condition, poor external condition (due to over chlorination / sitting green for some time). The tires are only slightly worn and the unit appears to be working at approx 80-90% efficiency. I would expect another 1-3 years without issue or maintenance from this suction style bottom cleaner.

The in-line basket is in damaged condition, the internal leaf canister is sealed shut, or has been virtually impossible for myself to open. Recommend opening and lubricating this item, otherwise if failure to open replacement may be neccessary of item ($65).

Notes: The auto fill is in good working condition. No issues at this time. Flows CONSIDERABLY, will fill pool in 10-25 minutes. Will overflow pool in 1 hour.

Note to drain pool there is a hose valve on the pool equipment. With the equipment running, and a hose attached to this hose valve while open, the pool will lower 1" in 30-60 minutes.

Filter Notes
Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Hayward
Model: Cartridge / Swimclear
SQFT: 420 / 520
Notes: The filter tank is leaking from all o rings on this filter top. These leaks were caused by two reasons, in order of relevence; 1. Too High of Salt Level / High Salt Content 2. Too High of Chlorine Levels.

By simply keeping proper water chemistry in your pool your filter o-rings can last up to 10 years. However this filter needs new o rings, or lubrication and sealing of filter o rings ($105).

Filter Pump Condition: Good$

Filter Pump Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Sta-Rite / Pac-Fab
Model: Dyna Glass / Challenger
HP: .75
Notes: The filter pump is in good working condition. No suction loss present at this time. Note this is not a high flow pump, only generating a low 3 psi on the filter pressure. This means the pump needs to run approx 10-12 hours per day at 1800-2200 watts. This filter pump basket is in good condition. The pump lid is also in good condition.

Overall I would expect this pump to last another 5 - 10 years without issue.

Both are in good working condition.

Salt level shows a 2700 ppm, recommend increasing 500ppm or two bags.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Good$

Overall Details

This 3 way valve is in fair to good physical condition, however the internal components are in good working condition.

This is the newer style valve body and can last an additional 20-35 years if the o rings are maintained.

Therefore recommend lubricating this and all o-Rings on site $255.
