Salt Control System Additional Notes

The salt cell is in like new (12-24 months) condition and can last another 5 years if well maintained.

This cell can only be tested at 58/68 degrees and higher, therefore easy removal of this cell is possible to bring to a pool store to test at a 3rd party independent body of water.

Salt Level was NOT tested. Due to low temperature.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Poor$125

Overall Details

The piping and the fittings are all in working condition. However due to the foundation of the pad shifting and the older sun exposed piping I would recommend re doing the piping and fittings and re pouring a new concrete pad and re installing the equipment ($1885) in the next 1 - 10 years.

Otherwise recommend booster removal due to leaks, and one o ring leak ($125 service call).


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