Filter Pump Notes
Filter Pump Additional Notes

This filter pump is in ideal working condition with medium heat (stress). I would assume the heat is from too much flow through a medium / small flow filter aka flow restriction recommend replacing this pump with an energy efficient variable flow Filter Pump ($1375) to dial in appropriate flow to filter and piping supply ratio.

Otherwise this pump should last another 5-20 years without issue.

Overall Details

There is one valve installed that controls the flow from the main drain or the skimmer. This valve is in working condition. Recommend servicing this valve soon ($55) currently is very hard to turn or adjust.

Additionally I would recommend installing a new three way valve ($555) and diverting flow around the booster to eliminate the need and extra energy cost of the second booster pump. Note you will have to switch the bottom cleaner though ($623) but the bottom cleaner currently installed is less than ideal.



No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment
