Pool Inspections
Pool & Equipment Inspections
A clear assessment of the pool, water and visible equipment — with photographs and practical observations.
What Is a Pool Inspection?
A pool inspection is a practical visual and operational assessment of the pool and accessible pool equipment. It can help identify visible condition issues, water-quality concerns, obvious equipment faults, signs of poor operation, maintenance needs, and areas that may require repair or further specialist assessment. It isn't a guarantee that every hidden defect will be found.
Who Is It For?
When an Inspection May Be Useful
Buying a Property With a Pool
Helps provide a clearer picture of the pool and equipment condition before or around purchase.
Selling a Property
Can help identify visible maintenance or equipment issues that may need attention.
New to the Property
Useful when you've inherited an unfamiliar system and don't know its condition.
Not Checked for Some Time
Useful for establishing a current baseline.
Unsure About Equipment Condition
Useful before deciding on repairs or upgrades.
Inspection Scope
What We Look At
Pool Condition
- Visible pool surface condition
- Water clarity and condition
- Obvious visible damage
- Skimmer areas
- General cleanliness
Water
- Visual condition
- Relevant water testing, where included
- Signs of imbalance or algae
- Salt/chlorination condition, where applicable
Equipment
- Pump
- Filter
- Chlorinator
- Salt cell, where applicable
- Timers and controls
- Pool cleaner, where applicable
Visible Plumbing
- Exposed pipes
- Unions
- Valves
- Visible leaks
- Obvious deterioration
Surrounding Pool Area
- Obvious visible condition of the immediate surrounds, where part of the inspection
Pool & Water Condition
Observations may include water clarity, visible algae, debris load, surface condition, visible staining, obvious deterioration, water level, and basic water testing where part of the inspection. Not every surface defect can be diagnosed visually — where something appears to need specialist assessment, that's noted rather than guessed at.
Where water condition points to something more, that's covered through Green Pool Recovery or a dedicated Water Testing & Balancing assessment.
Equipment Assessment
The inspection includes a practical assessment of accessible equipment — whether it appears operational, obvious leakage, unusual noise, restricted flow symptoms, visible deterioration and obvious fault indicators. An inspection isn't necessarily the same as a full technical diagnosis — if a specific fault is identified or suspected, a dedicated repair or diagnostic visit may be recommended.
Equipment Fault Found?
Repairs, Equipment & Installations
For a full diagnosis, repair, replacement or new installation once a fault is identified.

Visible plumbing observations may include exposed pipework, fittings, unions, valves, visible leaks and obvious deterioration. This does not include underground plumbing inspection, pressure testing, leak location or concealed-pipe assessment. Obvious visible conditions around the immediate pool area may also be noted, where part of the inspection — this is not a formal structural assessment or pool-fence compliance certification.
Inspection Report
Findings Are Documented Clearly
Inspection findings may be documented with photographs and practical observations, based on the accessible and visible conditions at the time of inspection.

Sample structure only — actual report format, delivery and content are confirmed as part of the service.
What the Inspection Does NOT Cover
The inspection is a practical assessment of visible and accessible pool conditions and equipment. Where a concern falls outside that scope, further specialist assessment may be recommended. Unless separately confirmed, this service does not include:
- Structural engineering certification
- Electrical certification
- Statutory compliance certification
- Building inspection
- Pool-barrier/fence certification
- Invasive testing
- Underground leak detection
- Concealed plumbing assessment
- Guarantee against hidden faults
