Gardena Home Inspections Home Inspections performs professional pool and spa inspections for your added peace of mind. We go beyond walking around the pool and kicking the pressure tank! Water chemistry is crucial to efficient operation of your filtration system. Improper water chemistry can shorten the life of the filtration system. On site pool and spa water tests will be preformed and documented. We can identify a newly “shocked” pool and spa and give you insight that you might not be aware of. Aside from water tests, the pump and pressure tank will be assessed and demonstrated. If so equipped, heaters will be tested and explained in detail how they work. The copping and tiles will be tested for loose or hollow mortar. We discourage all diving boards and water slides for safety reasons.
