Pool Surface Additional Notes

The swimming pool surface is in fair to damaged condition. It appears the fiberglass was painted and the paint is either failing or was never complete. Or they drained this pool and while attempting to clean it from stains they used a heavy cleaning product removing portions of the fiberglass / painted surface. The water level is different from the corner of the pools to the center, this is not typical and may be a larger structural issue, Recommend a structural engineer to look at this pool and determine if it is sound.

The water quality is very poor, and cannot be swam in at this time. Recommend neutralizing the water body of chlorine then draining it to lower the cynuric acid ($200-400) and then re chemicalizing for the summer ($100-250).

I also feel the pool water is new or recently drained and that is when it was left undrained for some time which caused the

Notes: The filter is in good working condition, with low filter psi. I would expect another 5-10+ years from this filter without issue especially since its covered so well via plant life.
