a-actionhomeinspection.com - Hey, this is Scott Lewis with A-Action Realty Inspection Services and I am here in Dallas inspecting a pool. I just wanted to show you a couple of my findings, that you do see with older pools. One, it's not an anti vortex drain cover. Anti vortex drain covers are needed so you can't get sucked to the bottom of the pool. Another finding that I found is, there's a crack, and it's hard to see, but it's running straight down the middle of the pool. Now whether that crack is deep enough to leak or not, is hard to tell. So I am recommending that a pool company does come out and do some kind of leak test on it. Skimmer baskets, these skimmer baskets, you can see how their damaged and cracked, that could lead to water getting behind the skimmer basket, and that could lead to upheaval the deck. You can see how the pool cover, drain cover, is not anti vortex, just like the spa cover is not anti vortex. The deck's kind of cracking a little bit, kind of damaged. The caulking, at the tile and the deck, you can see can be improved or deco sealed. And also there's a diving board in place. Diving board in place, you know the Product Safety Commission says you can get hurt with a diving board, so it's good to remove it. This is the other skimmer basket here. And as we go to the pool equipment, it's definitely older equipment. You can see that the box is weathered and rusted. You have two timers in here, one for the cleaner, one for the pool pump. The pool pump was on, but the cleaner was not on, there is no sweeper in place, so I don't know if it's working or not. I know the pump is turning on, but there's no sweeper in place for the inspection. You can see there's a spa, but there's no heater either, so, can't test the heater. Here is your pool equipment, that's the cleaner pump, that's the filter pump. As you can see that there is water all around it, so there is a water leak at the equipment somewhere. Also, the pool's reading's about 22 PSI, anything over 20 is high, and that filter should be backwashed with the filter. You can see the bonding straps here, and it has metal piping. There's no bonding straps on the metal piping, so anything that's metal, should be properly bonded at the pool equipment. And that's just a quick find with A-Action. Hopefully when you’re buying a house with a pool, you won't see some of the things I just found. Thanks.
