Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The pool skimmer is in great working condition with a like new working skimmer float weir and an in tact, in place, like new skimmer float valve (minus o ring and float valve seal missing) recommend installing these two items for proper pool skimmer operation ($155).

The spa skimmer is in poor working condition and fair physical condition. I am not sure why the skimmer wasn’t removed during re model or re done , but it wasn’t. It will need to be re done in 10-25 years or less.

Main drain in pool is VGBA compliant , I am not 100% sure with spa, just 99%, as one drain is most likely directly ran to the filter pump and the other drain is directly to the spa jet pump making this a safety hazard for entrapment. Recommend NEEDED modification to spa suction side to eliminate VGBA issues currently ($355) by adding equipment or modifying plumbing.
