Some piping is not pressure rated for this application and should be cut out and replaced for safety (black abs) in the next 1 - 10 years ($75).

The booster pump connection is in ideal working condition.

In the next 1 to 25 years all underground copper plumbing will need to be removed and replaced before it leaks ($2k-8k [not estimated]) this includes;

Digging out and replacing the old Ortega valve that controls the waterfall before it begins to leak and is not as noticeable underground ($550).


Due for maintenance, medium equipment pad, Required every 10-15 years, all valving must be opened, cleaned, lubricated, and re sealed to ensure longevity of equipment.
