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.

Safety gate self-latch not working Pool Exterior · Barriers & Safety · needs attention
Expansion joint sealant is cracked and pulling away Pool Exterior · Expansion Deck Joint · needs attention
Heater shows corrosion at the header Pool/Deck Equipment · Heater · diagnostic recommended
One underwater light is out Pool/Deck Equipment · Lighting · diagnostic recommended
Salt cell output is low Pool/Deck Equipment · Salt System · needs attention

On your real report this is a button. One tap and we're in touch, and you don't have to write anything.

A Repair Diagnostic is $149. You pay $74.50 to book it and the rest when we're finished. If the repair needs a separate visit, that first $74.50 comes off the repair bill instead, so you don't pay for the diagnosis twice.

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

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.

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 one needs a Repair Diagnostic so we can find the cause and what it'll cost.

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 itself.

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 showing its age. Next step: a cell cleaning often restores output. If it doesn't, the cell itself is the next thing to look at.

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'd like us to look at the heater or the light, the diagnostic terms are in the summary at the top. No rush either way, and you're welcome to take this report to whoever you like.

One more section on your real report. Every report ends with Limitations and Exclusions, which spells out what an inspection covers and what it doesn't. It's a few pages and it prints with the rest, so we've left it off this sample to keep the example readable.
