Executive Summary

What this pool needs right now

Pool Health Score
78

Strong overall system with chemistry drift and a few equipment watch items.

Priority

Lower pH and total alkalinity in stages

Current water balance is scale-forming and will continue to stress heater and salt-cell components if left untouched.

Watch

Document filter age and schedule deep clean

Observed operating condition is acceptable, but pressure and debris loading suggest the filter needs a stronger maintenance baseline.

Opportunity

Create a permanent equipment inventory

This will improve replacement planning and make every future visit more consistent.

Range-based estimate from visible plumbing, filter configuration, heater, salt cell, and return count.

Estimated Flow Rate62-71 GPM

Enough for stable turnover and feature support, assuming pump programming is dialed correctly.

Hydraulic ConfidenceMedium

Good field estimate. Confidence rises with line-length measurements and runtime verification.

        Plain-English next steps

        This pool is in a good position overall, but it is currently being held back by water-balance drift and missing system documentation. The fastest improvement is to lower pH and alkalinity in stages, then establish a proper filter and equipment baseline. Once that is done, the system becomes much easier to maintain consistently and much easier to budget for intelligently.
