The filter pump is in ideal physical condition. Upon arrival home owner informed me that the drive for this pump is currently being replaced and therefore the pump could not be used. However due to the age of the pump I would antucipate this pump operating another 2 - 10 years without issue. This is a newer variable speed pump and is the current standard.

The pumps current repair issue should be under warranty, if not the est cost is $555 to repair.

Overall Details

All valving appears like new and to have been recently painted and labeled and is in good physical condition.

Due to age (every 10 - 15 years), all valving should be opened , cleaned, lubricated, and re sealed for longevity ($255). If this has not been done in the past 10 years recommend this service now. It does appear these valves are newer (under 1 year) and will not need maintenance.



Yes, the equipment pad is UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment
