Pool Surface Additional Notes

The pool surface is worn. I would expect re plaster to be necessary almost now; since I see potential signs of gunite around the main drain. If not necessary now expect to re plaster in 1-12 months. Est cost to Replaster $4200.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The skimmer has a float valve that is the "low profile" version and is in need of repair or replacement ($58) also the float seal at the bottom of the skimmer is present and in place. Note the skimmer has been abused via tablets in the bottom of the skimmer basket, this has reduced its overall lifespan 10-20 years.

The main drain is not VGBA compliant and I would recommend installing a proper drain variation at time of re-plaster +$550. In the mean time recommend installing a VGBA compliant drain cover ($88), still not making it VGBA compliant, however more safe than not.

Bottom Cleaner Condition: 155 $35.00

Cleaner #1 Cleaner #2

Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

The bottom cleaner unit is in good working condition, however in one hose segment there is an air leak. This leak causes the unit to stop working once it reaches 3/4 of the way up the pool wall. Expect a cost of $35 for a new hose segment or two. Otherwise this unit is in good working condition.

Filter Additional Notes

This DE Sta rite System 3 filter is in fair condition. With no DE found in the pool I expect the grids to last another 6-12 months before a cleaning service is needed ($85). Otherwise once the backwash valve is replaced ($255) this filter should be operational for standard backwash cleanings.

Also note the drain plug o ring has failed and needs to be replaced ($35).
