Overall Details

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.
No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
