Filter Additional Notes

The pressure gauge is in fair condition. The tank is in great condition. The unit overall is nearly new. However I DO NOT recommend DE filters unless you wish to spend your time and or money extra on these filters as they are not EASY to maintain by any stretch in comparison to SAND FILTER TR-140 PENTAIR would be a dream to have compared to this filter both costs and time of cleaning savings (1-5 minutes vs 30-60 minutes every 3-4 months as just ONE example).

Filter Pump Additional Notes

The motor is VERY hot a level 4 out of 4. The motor overall is new ) 4 - 24 months however due to the pumps HP / plumbing size / filtration option / plumbing size in skimmer all play a crucial role when selecting filtration pumps vs a solar and filtration pump in one. In any case this current setup is not ideal. Recommend re addressing the filtration pump, ideally an intelliPRO pump would fit well here, however VERy oversized for this setup, still most efficient, so best for this setup.
