The white plaster has some discoloring and a "rust spot" in the deep end on the house side that's referred to as a bleeder. This is where the pool's structural steel reinforcements are closer than the 3" min. separation. There must be a 3" Gunite thickness between the plastering surface and the rebar or it can begin to rust from the contact with the pool's water.

Additional Tile Notes

In observing the pool's water surface level and based upon the tile having been originally installed at +/- 1/4" from level, the pool appears be lower on the west side. The water on this side of the pool (in relationship with the top of the tile was observed to be +/- 1/2" from the top of the tile and at the opposite side it was +/- 2 1/2" from the top of the tile. This in conjunction with the crack that's running north and south on the bottom of the pool needs further investigation. Our suggestion is to measure the pool's water loss over a 24 - 48 hour non-operational period and see if the pool's shell is holding water. If the pool looses an excessive amount beyond normal evaporation, then a scuba dive and a die test could be performed to determine if the crack has breached the pool's shell and is at issue.

Additional Water Quality Notes

Both the FCI Chlorine level and the TCI Chlorine levels were very high! 10-ppm...Several 3" Chlorine tablets were observed being placed in the Skimmer's leaf basket. This is not a recommended practice, as when the Chlorine dissolves it will concentrate a very acidic water directly into the equipment and piping network.
