Pool Surface Additional Notes

This surface will need some work, as it currently does not have a main drain located in the pool. Plaster is covering where the whole should be and covered the once existing hole. A new hole must be made in the plaster and extend piping all the way to the equipment pad in order to provide the required minimum one main drain suction line. Currently this pool is not up to code without a main drain. Adding a new main drain will cost a minimum of 2,000 upwards to 4 in order to install. As well the spa at the least will need a new main drain cover and to extend the piping towards the equipment under ground as it has been disconnected as well. In addition, this pool has no return lines located in the pool, or the spa. This will not allow the pool to get its needed circulation and attribute heavily towards algae and make it very difficult to keep clean and clear. New return lines will need to be drilled and extended under the ground towards the equipment pad regarding the spa and pool. Without return lines in the spa there will be no jets. In place of a skimmer there is 2 in. pipe placed over the grounded and leading into the pool serving as the sole suction line. This is a problem as there is no way to add a skimmer basket, highly increasing the risk of clogging your pump, and simply not accommodating the pool as intended. In place of any industry standard jets in the spa and pool there is a 2in pipe pushing out water. It is irrelevant whether the piping under the ground is leaking or functional as it is disconnected completely from the pool and spa. New piping will need to be added under the ground. In order to add the needed skimmer, return lines and all perspective plumbing on this pool and spa will cost a ball park of 10,000.
