Location: There is no technical safety fencing at this time.
Style: Wooden
Notes: Access was through the north west side gate.

The safety fencing would be classified as in damaged condition at this time.

Neither the main fence or the white fence self-close or self-latch and swing away from the swimming pool. Recommend repair.

Pool Surface Additional Notes

The swimming pool surface could not be seen other than the steps due to water clarity issues.

The plaster does appear to be in fair to good condition.

There are no pitting seen on the steps and the plaster feels like it is 7 - 15 years old. I would expect this plaster to last another 12-48 months without issue.

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality overall is poor, I feel the lowest cost option would be to drain the pool. Otherwise expect a cost of $100-250 to balance the body of water.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The skimmer is in poor physical condition. It was treated with consistent chlorine tablets for a prolonged period of time.

The skimmer float valve is in poor condition. It too has been chemically damaged and can no longer hold air in it float or seal its float to the body due to a missing o ring. Recommend replacement ($55).

The skimmer basket is brittle, recommend replacement with correct basket as well ($35).

The skimmer weir door should also be replaced as the float appears to be worn ($55)

This Pentair Legend 4 Wheel Return Style Bottom Cleaner appears to be in fair physical condition. And fair to good working condition.

The bottom cleaner does not appear to be functioning 100% at this time. I would give it a 5/10. Recommend repair service ($45)

The pool light breaker is not in working condition at this time. It does not reset or trip, therefore it is an immediate risk for electrocution. Recommend replacement ($155).
