Additional Tile Notes

The tile has some loose or missing tile in one small section, expect a cost of $210 to regrout and re apply this area.

Also there is a very light calcium build up on the tile surface, this can be removed via a bead blasting service ($400-500).

Additional Water Quality Notes

Ph: The ph is perfectly in line.
Free Chlor: It is very high and should be lowered before the pool is used ($25 chemical)
Total Chlor: It is also very high and should be lowered before the pool is used.
Cynuric: The cynuric acid is too high and will not allow the pool to properly balance itself, the only way to balance this issue is to drain approx 3/4 of the pool, this will bring the 200ppm reading down to 50 ppm where it needs to be ($250 drain).
Alk: The alk is high and should be lowered ($25 chemical) otherwise the plaster life will diminish rapidly.
Cal Hardness: The CALHArd is also slightly high, with the drain it will lower. This high calcium content will cause more calcium build up during evaporation.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Skimmer Notes: The skimmer is in good working condition, however its float valve is not in working condition due to a missing internal o ring, and since it is worn and discolored I would recommend replacement with a new float ($55).

Main Drain Notes: The main drains are in working condition however they are not VGBA compliant, recommend replacement with VGBA covers ($88ea x 2).

Bottom Cleaner Condition: $

Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Polaris
Model: 280 / 380
Notes: The bottom cleaner is in good working condition. The bag is worn ($45) and the tail sponge should be replaced ($25). The unit is in 8 out of 10 on condition, and I would expect this unit to last another 3 - 7 years without much issue. Also note the cleaners hose should be adjusted, as pictured it has too much slack, and 3 - 7 feet can be removed (from the middle hose sections only) to resolve this issue.

Filter Notes
Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Jandy
Model: Cartridge
SQFT: 580
Notes: The filter is worn from sun exposure, this will cause eventual issue, in approx 1 - 7 years replacement will be required. Currently the filter pressure is slightly high and the filters need to be cleaned, if the pressure does not go below 10 psi once cleaned recommend replacement of filter elements ($200-450). Also the pressure gauge is worn and needs replacement $75 for entire pressure relief and pressure gauge assembly.

Recommend covering this equipment pad to prolong the life of this filter shell and other equipment.

Notes: The filter pump is in fair working condition, this is a new motor on an older pump body. To increase the life of the motor; 1. increase plumbing efficiency: new sweep elbow after the pump ($75) 2. Clean filter elements more often (every three months) 3. never run dry, by installing a true automatic auto fill ($500) or install an over the deck auto fill ($100).

Overall Details

The valves are all in working condition. All Jandy valves should have its internal o rings lubricated and or replaced ($250) as this should be done every 10 years, since the chlorine levels are so high recommend this service on all o rings and unions on the equipment pad; filter pump, filter tank, heater, and booster pump teflon connections ($450).
