Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The first skimmer is in good working condition with a working used skimmer float weir and an in tact, in place, used skimmer float valve and float valve seal (recommend service & replacement in 3 - 5 years ($75), like new skimmer basket.

Recommend installing the Pentair multi skimmer option ($125) allowing a suction side bottom cleaner to be installed here (est $450) to help eliminate one pumps need to run here and save considerable energy.

Note the skimmer is not "safe" due to minimal VGBA standard here, allowing the skimmer to be fed 100% water flow, which is a potential danger. Upgrading the filter pump ($1625) would help resolve this danger issue.

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Fair, minimal parts needed for tune-up ($105) $105

Filter Additional Notes

Recommend element replacement , pressure gauge, and seal replacement ($255) to bring this unit back to ideal fair condition. This unit is notorious for leaking, and because of that I would recommend replacement ($655-1275) vs repair.

Filter Pump Notes
Poor, the pool pump has significant air or is struggling to prime in its pump basket. The motor is failing making loud noise, the shaft o-ring or seal plate o-ring has failed and is leaking, and / or has hot or very hot motor.
Filter Pump Additional Notes

This pump is way over-sized for the plumbing, even a variable speed would have to be turned down well past half speed to be in acceptable safe ranges here. Detailed in Water Quality Section.

Otherwise this motor should last another 1 - 24 months without issue.
