GFCI Compliant
Yes - The plug and or breaker are connected to the pool light and test and reset.
Board & Timer Additional Notes

This panel has two timers, a light switch, and 3 breakers.

An upgrade to this would be an automated wifi enabled control system ($1250 - 1750 installed)

Because this panel was left open (rust inside the panel) all electronics are compromised, since all items are working (breakers, light switch,) I would anticipate an issue in 1 - 48 months. Have no fear as this panel is virtually un used and could be removed potentially as filter pump is the only item powered and self timered.

The ozone canister on this equipment pad is no longer working and could be replaced for approx ($800 - 1275).

The plumbing here is in poor condition and should be replaced and or updated in the next 1 - 48 months before leaks become an issue ($355-575).

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.
