The fencing was not accessed, instead access was through the garage.

The pool surface is in great to good condition. There are no signs of stains or issues at this time.

The tile is in great to good condition. NO loose or missing tiles found.

No calcium found, only very minor calcium on grout, this can be removed with a pumice stone ($25).

The water quality overall is poor and damaged.

1. With such a high chlorine reading we either have an organic growth issue that is being hidden by such high readings, or it has been recently shocked. Either way the water should not be swam in unless the chlorine has been lowered. It is currently 5 x higher than recommended for residential swimming use. ($55 Chlorine Reducer)

2. The ph and alkalinity are both high to very high. This will cause plaster damage if left untreated, it will also assist in organic growth. Due to the age of the plaster I feel that since the ph has risen or is high that this body of water has some type of organic growth present, therefore additional treatments are needed to bring this water balanced. ($55 Enzyme Treatment / $65 Phosphate Treatment)

3. Cynuric Acid levels are too high and need to be lowered to 40-80 ppm. They are currently 2 -3 times higher then recommended. Adding cynuric acid reducer should correct this issue ($55-105).

4. The Calcium Hardness level is increasing, the higher this number rises the higher the calcium build up we will see on pool surfaces. Recommend reducing via chemical ($55-105) or draining half of the pool to accommodate a lower reading.

The skimmer is in good working condition. The skimmer float valve however is missing its internal o ring and the unit has been chemically burned due to 3" tabs being left in the basket, recommend replacment ($55).

Note: 3" tabs are generally the lowest cost way to chlorinate your swimming pool and thus the desire to simply place them in your skimmer basket is high. However doing this will chemically alter your entire equipment line that this low ph water will then pass through. This will cause o rings and equipment to fail like we are seeing with the main filter pump (the pump that then receives all this low PH water). Not to mention using tabs in a skimmer basket often will eventually cause the skimmer plastic to become so brittle that it will eventually crack and leak water. Looking at the float valve (skimmer picture 1) I feel this practice has caused all equipment life to lower 20-50% as well as a great potential for leaks to be found in the skimmer basket (20-50%). Therefore NOT using 3" tabs would be the best recommendation at this time and instead using liquid chlorine.

The main drain covers are not VGBA complaint, and it is recommended that these are replaced with such covers ($88 ea x 2), Otherwise this bottom main drain is in good working condition once the float valve is replaced.

This Polaris 280/380 is in good working condition. The tail and one hose swivel should be replaced at this time ($30-50) otherwise it should last another 1 - 4 years without additional issue.

This manual fill valve is located next to the swimming pool equipment. It currently leaks when it is on and filling the pool. Recommend repair ($10-110).

It also has an auto fill float valve that automatically fills the pool when the manual valve is on. However since the manual shut off is damaged then the auto fill is not being used currently.

The pool light is in fair to good working condition. This multi colored (color wheel) light does power on and operate as it should. However this unit will need service in the next 1 - 48 months to either repair the color wheel or replace the light bulb ($100-350).

This Jandy Cl580 Cartridge Filter is in good working condition. It has a low psi showing that these elements are either new or recently cleaned. The pressure gauge is worn and will need replacement in the next 1 -48 months ($105).

Also note that this filter has a tendency to leak from its filter tank o ring if you do not keep the elements clean (at a high psi). Therefore keep the elements clean (every 3 months).

This Jandy JHP 1.0 hp Stealth pump is in good / damaged working condition at this time.
Note that this pump does leak during operation and this is normal for this pump. However it is only normal when turning on and off the pump for 1-3 seconds. If the pump leaks longer, as this appears to be here, it may be caused by improper chemicals maintenance over time. Therefore I only see two solutions; 1. to replace the pump seals ($250-350) or 2. replace the pump ($575-775).

This Jandy PHP 1.0 Pump is in good working condition at this time.

This Intermatic single throw 220v yellow dial timer with breakers and dual light switch setup
Is all in fair to good working condition at this time.

All Valving is in fair to good working condition with no leaks found at this time. Due to the age of the valves I recommend lubricating and or replacing the internal o rings Every 5-10 years. The filter pump valve has already had this done recently, therefore I would recommend only the water fall valves.

I also recommend that all serviceable o rings (filter Unions, pump unions x 2) be re libricated due to improper water balance ($250-350).
