Pool Surface Additional Notes

Great plaster / pebble surface. Nerly new. Recommend watching the ph to guarantee another 15 - 30 years from this plaster surface. Note with a salt cell the PH will increase much higher than normal, therefore keeping PH ideal (6.8-7.2) is essential. Otherwise you'll have calcium leaching from both the plaster surface and the tile.

Additional Water Quality Notes

Water needs salt adjustment (estimated under salt cell section below) as well as chemicals adjusted (current maintenance company is not providing ideal chemical service, which may be due to unknowing of several issues; salt cell not functioning, ph too high, cyanuric too low, and salt too low, phosphates too high, and enzyme treatment and filter cleaning needed. ASAP otherwise expect plaster issues.

Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Even though both skimmers are not connected to the main drain / main drains have their own independent lines, recommend installing a skimmer float to prevent pump damage if low water exists. Also note the filter pump will detect low water flow and shut itself off. However, for longevity and proper isolation and diversion of flow, recommend installing such ($116 total = two floats).

Main drains are VGBA complaint however the covers are not. Recommend upgrading for safety ($88 each cover x 2).

Filter Pump Additional Notes

The pump is in good working condition, however the temperature on this pump is a level 3 out of 4 indicating a stressed state. Recommend covering this pad to reduce sun exposure as well as cleaning the filter, this should reduce stress. Also note this pool is equiped with second story solar, not ideal for any pool pump. This pump is capable however it will cause the pump to run stressed if running at medium to high speeds. Recommend isolating proper flow required to keep the pump in the ideal range of temperature.
