Items that need attention

We found 5 items worth your attention. Most of the pool is in good, normal shape for its age. Here's the short list, with a link to the full detail for each one.

General Design

Pool overview Operating
ShapeFreeform
StatusOperating
Approx. age~14 years
Approx. gallons~18,000
Approx. length~32 ft
Approx. width~16 ft

Chemical Tests

Water tested on-site at the time of inspection. These are a snapshot, not a substitute for ongoing weekly care.

Water chemistry Needs minor adjustment
Chlorine (ppm)1.0 · low
pH7.8 · slightly high
Alkalinity (ppm)110 · good
Calcium (ppm)250 · good
Cyanuric acid (ppm)85 · high
Salt (ppm)2,900 · good
Information Chlorine is a little low and stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is on the high side, which makes chlorine work harder. pH is slightly high. Next step: a small chemistry adjustment and keeping up with weekly care will bring this back in line. No repair needed.

Pool Interior

Interior finish Quartz plaster Typical Wear and Tear
Information Some normal surface roughness and light staining for a finish this age. No active structural cracking seen at the time of inspection. Next step: keep chemistry balanced to slow further wear. Resurfacing is a future planning item, not an urgent one.
Waterline tile Glass mosaic Typical Wear and Tear
Information Light calcium scaling along the waterline. Tiles are intact and well seated. Next step: a tile cleaning will improve the look. Not urgent.

Pool Exterior

Decking Broom-finish concrete Operating
Information A few minor hairline cracks consistent with normal slab movement. Nothing that affects safety or drainage.
Pool barriers & safety Self-closing gate Defective
Deficiency · Safety The self-latch on the pool gate does not catch reliably, so the gate can be left unlatched. This is a safety item, especially around children and pets. Next step: adjust or replace the gate latch so it self-latches every time. We can take care of this on a follow-up visit.

Coping Cantilever concrete Operating
Expansion deck joint Excessive Wear
Deficiency The flexible sealant in the joint between the deck and the pool coping is cracked and pulling away in spots. Left open, this lets water get under the deck over time. Next step: clean out and re-seal the expansion joint. Low-cost, worth doing before the next wet season.

Pool/Deck Equipment

Make, model, and approximate age are noted where the equipment plate was visible and readable.

Pump Variable speed Operating
ManufacturerPentair
ModelSuperFlo VS
Approx. age~3 years
Information Runs quietly and primes well. A newer, efficient pump. No action needed.

Filter Cartridge Operating
ManufacturerPentair
ModelClean & Clear 320
Approx. age~3 years
Information Pressure reads normal. Cartridges are getting close to due for a deep clean. Next step: a filter cleaning in the next month or two will keep flow strong. Routine, not a repair.
Heater Natural gas Excessive Wear
ManufacturerRaypak
Model266k BTU
Approx. age~9 years
Deficiency · Diagnostic recommended There is corrosion and some staining at the header area. The heater fired during the visit, but the wear is more than we'd expect and the cause should be pinned down before it gets worse. Next step: this item needs a Repair Diagnostic to find the cause and cost. If you approve the repair, the $74.50 you paid is credited onto your repair bill -- the diagnostic is free.
Underwater pool lighting Color LED Defective
Deficiency · Diagnostic recommended One of the underwater lights did not come on. Could be the bulb, a connection, or the transformer. The other light works. Next step: a Repair Diagnostic will tell us whether it's a simple fix or the fixture. If you approve the repair, the $74.50 you paid is credited onto your repair bill -- the diagnostic is free.
Sanitation (salt system) Salt chlorine generator Typical Wear and Tear
ManufacturerHayward
ModelAquaRite
Approx. age~7 years
Deficiency The salt cell shows scale buildup and is producing less chlorine than it should. Cells are a wear item and this one is near the end of its typical life. Next step: a cell cleaning may buy time, but plan for a replacement cell soon. We can quote both so you can choose.

Cleaning system Suction-side cleaner Operating
Information Moves and holds suction well. No action needed.
Automation / control system Pool controller Typical Wear and Tear
ManufacturerPentair
ModelEasyTouch
Approx. age~9 years
Information Working and responsive. It's an older generation, so keep it in mind for a future upgrade, but nothing needs doing now.

What we'd do next

This pool is in good, normal shape for a 14-year-old saltwater pool. The pump and filter are newer and healthy. The five items above are the ones worth your attention, and only the heater and the light need a diagnostic to nail down the cause and cost.

The safety gate latch is the one we'd handle first. After that, re-sealing the expansion joint and planning for the salt cell are the practical next steps.

If you approve a repair, the $74.50 you paid is credited onto your repair bill -- so the Repair Diagnostic costs you nothing when you move forward.
