Bought the place as a foreclosure 10 years ago, pool came with it. 3-ish to 8 feet deep, 16x32 feet, roughly 20 - 24k gallons I believe. County permit listing says it went in June of 1997 at a cost of $17800, gunite shell with quartz finish, pretty normal for this area. Planned on resurfacing "someday", and now someday is here.
Issues:
Resurface to Pebble Sheen in Black Onyx and fancy blue glass tile
Patch light niche leak
Replace light with new fangled LED color changing apparatus
Add 110k BTU heat pump
Remodel deck with new coping and pavers
Before pictures.
Issues:
- In some spots surface was ok, other parts, particularly the steps and bench have been extremely rough, like rough enough to cut your feet.
- Black algae spots started appearing in the shallow end 6 or 7 years ago and slowly migrated towards the drain every year. Tried "everything", manual removal with wire brush, rubbing puck directly onto spots, etc. These worked, but only for a limited time.
- Leak via crack in upper part of light niche discovered by leak detection company and plan to patch during remodel.
- Solar heater which was installed in 1997 was leaking profusely, not used in the past 3 years and discarded during reroof spring 2020.
- 12V incandescent light only worked cumulatively maybe 6 months out of the entire time I've been here, bulbs kept blowing. Bulbs are cheap, but huge PITA to swap.
- Unsightly deck, we've cleaned and painted but that only goes so far.
